Earning From Publishing

1. Introduction

Greenresearch provides authors with a premium monetization opportunity through the platform’s controlled access and download system.

The primary goal is to reward authors for high-quality, publishable work while sustaining the platform, compensating reviewers, and maintaining editorial integrity.

2. Access Models and Revenue Streams

Greenresearch operates three primary manuscript access models:

Model	Description	Revenue Potential
Open Access / Public Download	Manuscript is freely accessible to all users	No direct earnings
Premium Download / Paid Access	Users pay a fee to download the manuscript	Direct revenue to author and Greenresearch
Contact Author	Users request permission to access the work	No guaranteed revenue; facilitates collaboration

3. Premium Download Mechanics

3.1 Minimum Pricing

Each premium download must have a minimum price of NGN10,000.

Authors may set higher prices at their discretion, subject to platform limits.

3.2 Revenue Split

Author Share: NGN6,000 per NGN10,000 download

Greenresearch Share: NGN4,000 per NGN10,000 download

Revenue is proportionally adjusted if the author sets a higher download price.

3.3 Payment and Tracking

1. Revenue is tracked per manuscript.
2. Authors can monitor downloads, revenue generated, and cumulative earnings via their Greenresearch dashboard.
3. Monthly or quarterly earnings statements are provided.

3.4 Payment Timeline

Author earnings are disbursed after platform verification of downloads.

Greenresearch reserves the right to delay payouts to verify legitimacy and prevent fraudulent activity.

4. Contact Author Feature

1. Users may directly contact authors for access or permissions using the information details of the author(s).
2. Authors manage these requests independently.

Greenresearch does not guarantee financial gain from this channel but encourages it for networking and research collaboration.

5. Non-Refund Policy in Revenue Context

Payments made by users for premium downloads are non-refundable.

Authors acknowledge that:

1. Rejected manuscripts do not generate earnings
2. Platform resources have already been expended for review, hosting, and processing
3. Premium download revenue is only earned for accepted, published manuscripts
