Copyright Information
Understanding copyright is crucial for both authors publishing their work and users accessing content on Naman's Hub. This page outlines the key principles and policies.
At Naman's Hub, we believe authors should retain control over their intellectual property. When you publish your research paper with us:
- You retain copyright: You, the author(s), hold the copyright to your work. You are not required to transfer your copyright to Naman's Hub.
- You grant us a license: You grant Naman's Hub a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to publish, reproduce, distribute, display, and archive your work on our platform. This allows us to make your research accessible.
- Control over versions: You typically retain rights to reuse your work in other publications (e.g., book chapters, future articles), provided proper citation is given to the version published on Naman's Hub.
- Pre-prints and Post-prints: Our specific policies regarding pre-print servers (like arXiv) and institutional repositories will be detailed in the submission guidelines. Generally, we support responsible sharing.
We encourage authors to clearly understand the terms before submission.
Users accessing content on Naman's Hub are expected to respect the copyright of the authors. Generally, you are permitted to:
- Read, download, and print articles for personal, non-commercial, and educational purposes.
- Share links to articles available on Naman's Hub.
- Cite the work appropriately in your own research or publications, adhering to academic integrity standards.
- Utilize content in accordance with any specific license terms applied by the author (see 'Licensing Options').

Naman's Hub acts as a platform for dissemination and discovery. Based on the license granted by authors, we have the right to:

We are committed to upholding academic standards and respecting intellectual property rights.
To promote open access and wider dissemination, Naman's Hub encourages authors to consider publishing their work under a Creative Commons (CC) license. These licenses provide a standardized way to grant permissions for reuse while retaining copyright.
Common options include:
- CC BY (Attribution): Allows others to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation. This is the most accommodating license offered.
- CC BY-SA (Attribution-ShareAlike): Allows reuse and modification, but any derivative works must also be licensed under the same CC BY-SA terms.
- CC BY-NC (Attribution-NonCommercial): Allows reuse and modification for non-commercial purposes only, with attribution.
- CC BY-ND (Attribution-NoDerivs): Allows redistribution, commercial and non-commercial, as long as it is passed along unchanged and in whole, with credit to you.
The specific license options available during the submission process will be clearly presented. Choosing a CC license can significantly increase the impact and reach of your research.
