Advertising Policy

1. General Principles

  • A‑JMRHS may host limited advertising or sponsorship on its website and related media to support journal operations, provided that such activities do not influence editorial content, peer review, or publication decisions.
  • Scientific integrity, editorial independence, and reader trust take precedence over any commercial considerations.

2. Separation of Editorial and Commercial Functions

  • Editorial decisions are made solely based on the scientific quality, originality, and relevance of submissions and are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or commercial partners.
  • Advertising and editorial operations are managed independently. Advertisers have no role in manuscript handling, peer review, or acceptance/rejection decisions.

3. Acceptable Advertising

  • The journal may accept advertisements that are:
    • Relevant to medicine, health sciences, education, scholarly communication, or closely related professional activities.
    • Legal, accurate, and compliant with applicable regulations and professional standards.
    • Not misleading, deceptive, discriminatory, or offensive.
  • All advertisements are subject to approval by the publisher and/or Editor‑in‑Chief, who reserve the right to refuse or remove any advertisement without prior notice.

4. Distinction Between Ads and Content

  • Advertisements, sponsored content, or promotional materials will be clearly distinguished from editorial content by layout, labeling, or placement (e.g., “Advertisement” or “Sponsored” tags).
  • Advertising will not be placed in a manner that suggests editorial endorsement of specific products, services, or organizations.

5. No Targeting of Specific Articles

  • Advertisers are not permitted to target or link advertisements to specific articles in a way that implies endorsement or preferential association (e.g., contextual ads tied to individual papers).
  • No advertising campaign may attempt to influence citations, article visibility, or the journal’s editorial agenda.

6. Digital Tracking and Data Protection

  • The journal does not share personally identifiable user data (such as names or e‑mail addresses) with advertisers.
  • Advertisers may receive only anonymized, aggregated usage statistics, where applicable, and all data handling follows the journal’s Privacy Policy and applicable data‑protection rules.

7. Sponsored Supplements and Content

  • Sponsored supplements or special issues, if accepted in future, will:
    • Undergo the same peer‑review and editorial standards as regular content.
    • Be clearly labeled as sponsored and will disclose the sponsor’s identity.
    • Not allow sponsors to interfere with editorial decisions or influence the selection, review, or interpretation of articles.

8. Changes to the Advertising Policy

  • This Advertising Policy may be reviewed and updated periodically to reflect best practices in scholarly publishing and ethical guidelines (e.g., COPE, WAME, ICMJE, and major publishers’ codes).
  • Any significant changes will be posted on the journal website, and continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
