The completion of a scientific work is associated with a lot of hard work, a large time commitment and considerable costs. It so happens that the tediously completed paper you have just written will no longer be read after being turned in. However, students and scholars alike share your interest for your paper topic. You have an audience waiting to read your research and find out the results of all your hard work!

You can make your work accessible to a large public, save it from gathering dust on the book shelf, and not to mention, earn money! All through our websites.

In addition, the publication of your paper can help you build valuable contacts with firms, something that may be of advantage later!

The publication of scientific texts on our website also helps to promote advancements in the academic world, as it is not preferable for students to continuously write on topics that have been repeatedly researched in the past. Our archive allows professors and students to browse research topics, as well as their frequency, so as to find new themes and variations of interest. Save the same old dry topics for the test: promote creativity and innovation!

Do you want to profit from our unique marketing service as thousands of authors already are?

Our service is completely free for authors.

The royalties you receive are not paid in credits or in kind - you get money! We will either transfer the money into your bank account or pay it through another recognized payment system.

The amount of money you earn depends on how many copies of your article are sold.

As an author, you will receive 40% of the sold-for-price for any thesis (as well as dissertations, ect.), and 35% for other scientific texts, term papers for example (after deduction of value added tax).

The price per article is determined by the length, theme, and grade earned, between 2,99 EUR and 150 EUR (incl. 19% VAT). In our marketing experience, our comparably low prices have proven to be ideal because they are oriented toward scientific publications in print form. Therefore, students, as well as anyone interested, are able to purchase articles at an affordable and reasonable price.

Authors of theses can determine the price themselves within our price categories up to the amount of 150 Euros. In the case you wish to determine the price yourself, note the wished price in the -commentary- field when you send us your work.

All sales are conducted with the online payment system Firstgate. Firstgate receives a portion of the net sale price for the allocation of the payment system and the bill of sales.

The royalties will be transferred on a quarterly basis to the bank account you supply us with when you sign up. Please note: we may choose other types of disbursement (e.g. cheque, other recognized payment systems, etc.).

In comparison to publication with most book publishers, for example, you receive much higher royalties. Such is the case that authors in many cases see only under 5% returns with a normal book publisher. Furthermore, you will earn money with your first work sold, which is usually not the case with book publishers. Because our marketing services aren’t exclusive, you can always publish your texts with other publishers.

Each quarter we calculate your author royalties and send you a confirmation email, if and how much you have earned with your work, and therefore how much we are transfering into your account.

Through our marketing terms and conditions, we are responsible for correctly processing the sale of your work and allocation of the royalties.

Timely and proper payment makes our authors happy and happy authors are the best advertisment for our services.

Important information for authors outside of Germany:
If your bank account is outside of Germany, we reserve the right to hold author earnings until they have reached a sum of 50 Euros. Please Note: We make all payments in EUROs. If your bank connection is outside of the European Union, it is very important that you give us your international banking information (IBAN/SWIFT - U.S. Citizens: Bank Account Number and SWIFT) in the Author Login Section: https://www.grin.com/en/login/
