Advertising and Direct Marketing Policy
Jurnal Fokus Manajemen
Jurnal Fokus Manajemen maintains a clear separation between editorial decision-making and any advertising, sponsorship, marketing, or promotional activity.
1. Editorial Independence
Advertising, sponsorship, marketing relationships, financial contributions, or promotional arrangements must not influence reviewer selection, peer-review reports, editorial decisions, acceptance, rejection, or publication priority.
2. Identification of Advertising
Where advertising or sponsored promotional material is displayed, it should be clearly distinguishable from peer-reviewed scholarly content and should not be presented in a manner that could mislead readers regarding editorial endorsement.
3. Direct Marketing
Direct marketing or communication concerning the journal should be accurate, professional, transparent, and not misleading. Claims regarding journal indexing, accreditation, publication speed, peer review, fees, or acceptance must accurately reflect the journal's actual policies and status.
The journal does not use marketing communications to promise guaranteed acceptance, guaranteed publication, favorable peer review, citations, authorship, or preferential editorial treatment.
4. Author and Reviewer Information
Personal information obtained through manuscript submission, peer review, or journal administration should not be improperly used for unrelated commercial marketing activities.
5. Conflicts of Interest
Any material relationship between promotional activities and journal management that could reasonably create a conflict of interest should be managed transparently and must not affect academic decisions.
Principle: Scholarly integrity and editorial independence take precedence over advertising, sponsorship, marketing, or financial interests.
