Publisher's note
The articles and contributions made are free to republish to ensure quality information is available for all.
One thing you might not know about kcglobal is that we publish or reproduce under a “Creative Commons” license so anyone else too can further publish or reproduce the articles for free.
Why? Because we want quality, fact-based information to reach as many people as possible. We want our community's authors to have the largest possible audience to share their knowledge. And we want the industry's media to publish trusted content with high ethical standards. Giving highly focused articles to other publishers is one way we can contribute to a robust media, and that’s especially important given the current devastating landscape of cuts and closures.
You’ve probably read an article posted or auto-posted here already or elsewhere - not realising it was one from our community's (at the bottom it will often provide: The "source link" to where it was originally published or credit given to where it first appeared or where it was first published).
Our community's republication network delivers a massive readership of 26 million article views each month, and that’s on top of the 11.5 million readers who access our community's content directly.
We believe in experts. We believe knowledge must inform decisions.
We believe the free-flow of information is more important than clicks. Quality information shouldn’t be behind paywalls, locked away in ivory towers, or guarded by vested interests. It should be available to all.
When you support kcglobal, you’re investing in the provision of quality information for millions around the world. (And if you’d like to aid us it’s never too late to join up with us.)
