OPEN ACCESS POLICY

ISRG (India) is committed to providing full open access to all published articles. All articles are made freely accessible to readers without requiring registration, subscription, or any payment.

Readers are permitted to read, download, copy, share, distribute, print, search, and link to the full text of published articles, as well as use the content for other lawful purposes, in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0) license.

COPYRIGHT AND LICENSING

Authors are not required to transfer copyright of their manuscripts to ISRG Publisher. Instead, authors retain their copyright and agree to publish their work under the CC BY-NC 4.0 license at the time of manuscript submission.

This licensing arrangement allows authors to retain ownership of their scholarly work while permitting others to access and reuse the published material for non-commercial purposes, provided appropriate attribution is given.

SELF-ARCHIVING POLICY

In addition to providing open access, ISRG supports the self-archiving of published articles. Authors may deposit or share their published articles in appropriate repositories, institutional websites, academic platforms, or other permitted locations.

When self-archiving or sharing a published article, authors should provide proper bibliographic citation and a direct link to the official publisher version to ensure that readers can access the authoritative version of the publication.
