The journal maintains full transparency regarding its sources of revenue. These may include, but are not limited to:
Author fees (Article Processing Charges for open access publishing)
Subscription fees (for access to content under the subscription model)
Advertising (clearly marked and separate from editorial content)
Reprints and printing services
Institutional or organizational support (including support from affiliated academic or research institutions)
All revenue streams are clearly disclosed on the journal’s website to ensure openness with authors, readers, and stakeholders.
Importantly, editorial decisions are made independently of revenue considerations. The acceptance or rejection of a manuscript is based solely on its scientific merit, relevance, and compliance with editorial standards. Publishing fees or requests for fee waivers have no influence on the peer review process or final editorial decisions.
Advertising Policy
If advertising is accepted, the journal maintains a transparent and clearly defined advertising policy to ensure the integrity of its editorial content.
The types of advertisements considered may include academic conferences, scholarly books, scientific tools, research services, or other offerings relevant to the journal’s readership.
Decisions regarding the acceptance of advertisements are made independently by the journal’s administrative or publishing team and are not influenced by the editorial board or reviewers.
Advertisements may be displayed either at random or contextually based on page type or content category, but they are not linked to reader behavior or browsing data unless clearly stated.
All advertisements are visibly separated from editorial and peer-reviewed content to avoid any confusion or perception of influence.
Editorial decisions are made solely on the basis of academic merit and are not influenced by commercial interests or advertising partnerships.
Direct Marketing
All direct marketing activities conducted on behalf of the journal, including the solicitation of manuscripts, shall be appropriate, well-targeted, and conducted in a respectful and unobtrusive manner.
Communications must accurately represent the journal’s scope, peer-review process, editorial standards, and indexing status.
All promotional materials must be truthful, transparent, and not misleading to prospective authors, readers, or partners.
The goal of direct marketing is to inform, not to mislead or pressure, thereby maintaining the journal’s reputation and ethical standards.
