Common Ground Books is committed to expanding the reach and impact of the scholarship we publish. In alignment with current industry standards and global best practices, we offer authors an Open Access (OA) option that makes their work freely available to readers worldwide, without paywalls or subscription barriers.
Open Access publishing not only increases citation potential and readership, but also supports equitable access to knowledge for researchers, practitioners, and the public across all regions. We work with indexing services, institutional repositories, and long-term preservation partners to ensure that OA titles remain visible and accessible in perpetuity. All OA titles are licensed under Creative Commons,
By participating in our OA program, authors contribute to a global movement toward transparent, inclusive, and barrier-free knowledge sharing.
