Policy Statement

Jurnal Multidisiplin Dehasen (MUDE) maintains a clear separation between scholarly editorial activities and any advertising, sponsorship, promotional, or direct-marketing activities associated with the journal.

Advertising or promotional considerations must never influence manuscript selection, peer-review assignments, reviewer recommendations, editorial decisions, publication priority, article content, or the interpretation of research findings.

Advertising Principles

• Advertising content, if accepted, must be clearly identifiable and distinguishable from editorial and scholarly content.
• Advertising must not be presented in a manner that could reasonably be interpreted as an editorial endorsement.
• Advertising decisions must be independent of manuscript acceptance, rejection, or publication scheduling.
• Advertisers or sponsors are not permitted to influence peer review or editorial decisions.
• The journal may decline advertisements that are misleading, inappropriate, incompatible with scholarly standards, or potentially harmful to the journal's integrity or reputation.

Placement of Advertising

If advertising is displayed on the journal website or within another journal communication channel, its placement should be determined by administrative or technical considerations rather than by the content, authorship, conclusions, or editorial status of individual manuscripts or articles.

Direct Marketing

MUDE may communicate information about calls for papers, new issues, journal developments, editorial announcements, scholarly activities, or other legitimate journal services through email, websites, academic networks, social media, or other appropriate communication channels.

Direct-marketing communications must be accurate, professional, and not misleading. The journal must not falsely guarantee manuscript acceptance, publication within a fixed period, indexing, citation performance, accreditation outcomes, or preferential editorial treatment.

Prohibited Marketing Claims

• guaranteed acceptance or publication;
• guaranteed favourable peer-review outcomes;
• paid manipulation of citations or authorship;
• misleading claims about indexing or accreditation;
• false claims concerning journal metrics, affiliations, partnerships, or databases; and
• marketing that creates the impression that payment determines scientific acceptance.

Privacy and Contact Information

Contact information obtained through journal submission, peer review, registration, correspondence, or other scholarly activities should not be sold or disclosed for unrelated commercial marketing. Journal communications should respect applicable privacy requirements and legitimate requests to stop receiving non-essential promotional messages.

Sponsorship and Promotional Support

Any sponsored activity or promotional support relevant to the journal should be transparently identified where disclosure is necessary. Sponsors may not control editorial content, peer review, conclusions, or the acceptance of manuscripts.
