About the Journal

Open Access Policy

Digital Medievalist provides immediate access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global knowledge exchange. Authors of published articles remain the copyright holders and grant third parties the right to use, reproduce, and share the article according to a Creative Commons license agreement. 

One of the benefits of platinum open-access publishing lies in others being able to reuse material. We believe that the greatest societal good is possible when people are free to re-distribute scholarship and to create derivative works. This is why we use the CC BY 4.0 license, under which others may re-use your work on condition that they cite you.  

If a more restrictive license is required (for example, if you are reproducing third-party material that cannot be reproduced under more open licenses), please make this request upon submission in the ‘Comment to the Editor’ field.
