GRIN

Dear all, I know that it has been a while since this debate came up, but as an editor with GRIN, I’d like to answer some of your questions. GRIN is a publishing company from Germany that lists works by over 65,000 authors in its catalogue. Apart from students, there are also many lecturers and professors amongst our authors. Compared to our competitors, the royalties we pay for every published paper are in fact high. As an alternative to the one-time payment of ten euro, you can also choose to receive a certain percentage of the price every time someone buys your paper. Please keep in mind that it is free for authors to publish their papers with GRIN. They therefore do not take any risk by uploading their work. GRIN also takes care of spreading the paper to all major online bookstores worldwide, thereby highly increasing the opportunities for sales. Experience shows that even the most specialized papers find their audience. However, if you don’t want your name to be connected with your early papers, you can always choose to publish anonymously or to use a pseudonym. As for the issue of plagiarism, I can assure you that copying from works that have been published with GRIN is much more dangerous than plagiarizing printed books or magazines. After all, GRIN is very well known amongst scholars and all our works can be searched entirely on Google or on our web page. In addition, we offer instructors free access to the respective work if they assume that a student might have copied from it. I hope that this information proves helpful. If you have any further questions, please feel free to let me know. Many greetings from Munich, Anna GRIN Verlag
