Open Access

Irish Historical Studies is a hybrid journal, meaning that it publishes on a subscription basis but provides authors with options to make their article open access in two different ways.

Under the Green Open Access policy for Humanities and Social Science (HSS) journals authors can archive certain versions of their articles – the submitted version under review or the accepted (peer reviewed) version, but not the final version of record – in institutional or non-commercial subject repositories, or on their personal or departmental websites. This allows authors to comply with the open access mandates of many funders and institutions. For more details, see the Green Open Access policy page.

Under Gold Open Access the author can publish under a Creative Commons license, enabling anyone to access and redistribute the content and, depending upon the license, re-use the content in new or derivative works with attribution. The terms of re-use for Gold Open Access content are stated in the copyright line of the article.

Gold Open Access is supported by an article processing charge (APC) typically paid for by the author’s funding body or institution.

Sharing

Sharing your article with colleagues and the wider community is a vital part of research. But please share it responsibly, and follow the journal’s policy for posting the article in institutional repositories or websites such as social sharing sites. Responsible sharing will help safeguard the future of this journal.

If you choose to publish your article as Gold OA, you are free to post the final published PDF (the version of record) on your own website or elsewhere, as long as this is in keeping with the terms of the Creative Commons license you choose.
