Editorial Independence
Advertising does not influence scholarly decisions
Independent Editorial Decisions
Advertising arrangements have no influence on the acceptance, rejection, review, editing or publication of manuscripts.
Editorial decisions are based on scholarly quality, relevance, originality, ethical standards and the journal’s established editorial and peer-review procedures.
Separation of Advertising and Editorial Content
Clear distinction between commercial and scholarly material
Clear Identification
Advertising content should be clearly distinguishable from editorial and scholarly content.
No Editorial Influence

Independent Review
Advertising arrangements are considered separately from manuscript submission and publication decisions.
Transparency
Promotional content must not create a misleading impression of journal endorsement.
Review and Approval
All advertising is subject to journal approval
The journal reserves the right to review advertising materials before publication. Acceptance of an advertisement is at the discretion of the journal and does not constitute endorsement of the advertised product, service, organization or claim.
The journal may refuse, modify, suspend or remove an advertisement when it considers the content unsuitable, misleading, inappropriate or inconsistent with the journal’s policies.
Website Advertising
Advertising displayed through the journal website
Website advertisements should generally be relevant to the journal’s academic audience.
Advertisements must comply with applicable laws and the journal’s ethical standards.
Advertising placement does not determine editorial treatment or publication decisions.
