ISIP publishes its articles under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial license (CC-BY-NC). This allows for the non-commercial reuse of the published paper so long as the published paper is fully attributed. Commercial re-use can only be undertaken with the permission of the publisher.

Authors who submit papers to International Sci Ink Press (ISIP) under a CC-BY-NC license do so under the Open Access facility and pay to have their paper freely available online. Authors will be asked to sign an Open Access license agreement prior to publication, details of which are:

The original authorship is properly and fully attributed;

The journal and publisher are attributed as the original place of publication with correct citation details given;

If an original work is subsequently reproduced or disseminated not in its entirety but only in part or as a derivative work this is clearly indicated;

No articles are reproduced for commercial use (see points 4 and 5 in section “Terms of Use”) without the prior consent of ISIP and payment to ISIP of any appropriate fee.

We further reserve the right to sell any copies made to ISIP’s benefit and credit.  This right is exclusive to ISIP and the author must disclose any third party who may have a conflict of interest in this regard.
