Payment types that apply
A single work usually earns through several channels at once. Each is reconciled separately in your ledger so you can see exactly where the money came from.
- Citation royalties — Per-citation income when your paper, thesis or dataset is referenced in published or commercial work.
- Thesis & dissertation reuse — Payment when graduate work is downloaded, reprinted, syllabused or built upon.
- Reprography & course packs — Collective licensing income from photocopying, scanning and campus course packs.
- Dataset licensing — Commercial and academic licence fees when your data, corpus or benchmark is used.
- Peer review & editorial fees — Recovered honoraria for review, editing and scientific advisory work you were never paid for.
- Grant & institutional residuals — Downstream income when funded outputs are commercialised or relicensed.
- Royalties — Mechanical, performance, print, resale and neighbouring rights.
- Residuals — Recurring pay for reuse, reruns and territory expansions.
- Per-use micropayments — Sub-cent settlement for a single view, scroll or quote.
- Licensing fees — Sync, editorial, commercial, exclusive and perpetual terms.

Sık sorulan sorular
- Can news & journalism creators earn without a publisher, label or agency?
- Yes. Independent, unsigned and unrepresented creators are tracked identically to represented ones. Representation changes nothing about detection or payment.
- Do I need registered rights to be paid?
- No. Payment is based on evidence of authorship plus evidence of use. Copyright registration, trademarks, patents, ISRCs, ISBNs, DOIs, label, publisher or collecting-society membership are never required — they only widen enforcement options.
- How soon is the first payment?
- Within 90 days of signing up, provided identity verification is complete and a gfinos.app payout identity is linked. The dashboard shows a live countdown, and if the deadline is missed the commission on that payout is waived.
