Open Access & Copyright
Free to read, free to share — with authors retaining their rights.
Open-Access Policy
All articles published in Lips Nexora are immediately and permanently available online without subscription or paywall. Anyone may read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts, consistent with the licence under which each article is published.
Licensing
Unless otherwise stated, articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence: reuse is permitted with proper attribution to the authors and the journal.
Copyright
Authors retain copyright in their work and grant Lips Nexora a licence of first publication. Authors may deposit the published version in institutional repositories, personal websites, and preprint servers, with a citation and link to the version of record.
Article Processing Charges
Open access is funded by a single Article Processing Charge, payable only after a manuscript has been accepted. Submission and peer review are free, and nothing is charged if a manuscript is rejected or withdrawn.
India authors
₹10,000.00
per accepted article, plus taxes
Rest of the world
$100.00
per accepted article, plus taxes
Taxes are additional and are charged as applicable in each country's jurisdiction. Full and partial waivers are available on request and are granted routinely — ability to pay never influences an editorial decision. See Article Processing Charges for the full policy, what the charge covers, and how to request a waiver.
Archiving & Preservation
Published articles carry persistent, citable URLs and DOI-ready metadata. Content is exposed via OAI-PMH for harvesting by libraries, aggregators, and preservation services.
