Articles published in Nebula remain the copyright of their authors (please see DOAJ above for copyright exception). All other textual copyrights are reserved by Nebula.

Contributors are asked not to submit material to Nebula which has been previously published or is being considered for publication elsewhere, or, to submit material to this periodical with the intent of submission elsewhere, or induce any sort of overlap in any chronological order where this matter is concerned.
Nebula reserves the right to cease provision of hosting-space for any article, should any acts of academic dishonesty come to our attention after the event of the article's publication.
Nebula receives a large number of submissions for each issue. Only articles that are already of a publishable quality and standard progress in the review process. Reader reports are only available to those whose submissions have been provisionally accepted for publication as we cannot provide detailed feedback for all the material we are obliged to reject.
On average, 33% of all submissions made to this journal per year are accepted for publication.
