Rights and Permissions FAQs: Authors

Modified on Tue, 1 Jul at 11:30 AM


1. What are my rights as an author? 


We understand that what  you can and can't do with your work can be a maze for authors, and different for each publisher. 


2. As an Emerald author, can I include my article in my thesis or dissertation?


Yes- an Emerald author can include the published version of their article within their printed thesis or dissertation, provided the thesis is not going to be commercially published (i.e. assigned an ISBN). If you must submit your thesis electronically, you may include the pre-print or accepted manuscript of your work (i.e. not the Publisher PDF).
