Authorship
In order to be considered an author or co-author of an article in Comparative Critical Studies, a person must:

1) have made substantial contributions to the work

2) be willing to accept accountability for the work that was done and its presentation in a publication.

The contributions to the manuscript of anyone who does not meet this criteria should be listed in the acknowledgements section. For example, things like general mentoring, collecting data, acting as study coordinator or providing comments on early versions of the manuscript do not constitute authorship, but should be noted in the acknowledgements for an article.

For any other questions on authorship (or other aspects of publication ethics) please click here.

AI Policy
Any use of AI in the development or writing of your manuscript must be disclosed to the editors at the point of submission. You can find the EUP AI disclosure form here , and you can read full EUP AI policy here.

Open Access and Self-Archiving

All EUP journals are published on a Green Open Access basis, whereby authors are allowed to deposit a pre-publication version of their contribution on their personal or departmental web page and in their institutional repository. Authors are also permitted to deposit a pre-publication version of their contribution in a non-commercial subject repository one year following publication in print. The Version of Record of the article, as it appears in the journal following layout and proof correction, may not be deposited by authors in institutional repositories. Please visit our Copyright and Open Access licenses page for full details of our self-archiving policy for all EUP journals.

Authors can also choose to pay a fee to make their article freely available online immediately via the EUP journals website through the Edinburgh Open scheme which provides an optional Gold Open Access route to publication in all Edinburgh University Press journals. Please visit our Open Access page for full information.
