Open Access Policy

Láàńgbàsà is committed to making research in Yorùbá studies freely accessible to everyone. The journal operates under a fully Open Access model, which means that all published articles can be read, downloaded, and shared by anyone around the world no subscriptions or payments required. By embracing open access, the journal supports the free flow of knowledge, encourages academic collaboration, sparks innovation, and helps research make a broader impact on society.

All articles published in Láàńgbàsà are covered by the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) License. This allows readers and researchers to read, copy, share, and even build upon the work, as long as the original authors and the journal are credited. This ensures that research reaches as many people as possible while protecting the authors’ intellectual contributions.

The journal maintains a strict double-blind peer-review process to ensure that open access never comes at the expense of quality or academic integrity. Every published article is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which guarantees that it can be cited reliably and accessed permanently in the future.

Authors keep full copyright of their work while granting the journal the right to publish and share it, both online and in print. In this way, Láàńgbàsà combines accessibility with academic excellence, giving research the visibility it deserves.
