Advertising policy

Advertising policy

We offer different advertisement options to different stakeholders to be published in hard copies of the journals, websites and related e-mail services (e-mail alerts) according to the following principles:

• Advertising must be separate from content. Content may not be altered, added, or deleted to accommodate advertising. Advertisers have no input regarding any of our editorial decisions or advertising policies. The advertising sales representatives have neither control over, nor prior knowledge of, specific editorial content before it is published.
• We reserve the right to decline or cancel any advertisement at any time.
• Third-party advertisements may not use our name, logo, or title on their web pages or email alerts unless previously agreed.
• Advertised products must be compliant with the regulations in the country where the advertisement will be seen.
• Users will be able to distinguish advertising and editorial content clearly on the website and in e-mail alerts. Commercial advertising does not appear on the same screen as editorial content on the website or in full-content e-mails.

Direct Marketing

Any direct marketing activities, including solicitation of manuscripts that are conducted on behalf of the journal, shall be appropriate, well targeted and unobtrusive.
