Advertising, sponsorship, marketing relationships, financial contributions, or promotional arrangements must not influence manuscript screening, reviewer selection, peer-review reports, editorial decisions, publication priority, or post-publication actions.

If advertising or sponsored promotional material is displayed, it must be clearly distinguishable from peer-reviewed scholarly content and should not imply academic endorsement by the journal, editors, reviewers, publisher, or authors.

Messages used to promote the journal, solicit manuscripts, announce calls for papers, or communicate journal services must be accurate, professional, transparent, and not misleading.

Any public statement concerning accreditation, indexing, abstracting, publication frequency, fees, peer-review model, or journal status must reflect the journal's current and verifiable official status. Expired, pending, or unverified recognition must not be represented as active recognition.

Personal information obtained through manuscript submission, peer review, editorial correspondence, or journal administration must not be improperly reused for unrelated commercial marketing or disclosed to unauthorized third parties.

Any financial or organizational relationship associated with advertising, sponsorship, or promotional activity that could reasonably create a conflict of interest should be transparently managed and must remain separate from academic evaluation.
