Rights Agreement Options


The International Journal of Design Education is a Hybrid Open Access journal. Once your article has passed peer review, you’ll be asked to select a Rights Agreement. We offer various pathways to make your research accessible and make accessibility affordable. And whatever option you choose, immediately upon acceptance, authors are permitted to submit the Accepted Manuscript (AM) version of their manuscript with a CC-BY or CC- BY-ND license, if required, to their funding body or institution for inclusion in their funding body or institution's database, archive, or designated repository. This is the version of the paper accepted for publication after changes resulting from peer review, but before editing, formatting, and production of the final PDF by CGRN staff. For more detail refer to our Journal Author Rights & Permissions guide.
