Direct Marketing & Advertising Policy
Direct Marketing
The Journal is capable of engaging in direct marketing. These actions disseminate information regarding the Journal and its goal in any manner permitted by law. The Journal observes ethical standards, protects privacy, and abstains from obsessions when engaging in direct marketing activities.
Advertising Policy
1. Independence from Editorial Decisions: All advertisements and commercially sponsored publications are independent of editorial decisions. IJPMBS does not endorse any product or services marked as an advertisement or promoted by a sponsor in IJPMBS's publications. Editorial content is not compromised by commercial or financial interests, or by any specific arrangements with advertising clients or sponsors.
2. Brand Protection: IJPMBS reserves the right to decline any type of advertising that is damaging to the brand of IJPMBS or is inappropriate to the content held on the IJPMBS network.
3. Truthfulness and Verifiability:
Advertisements must not be deceptive or misleading and must be verifiable.
Advertisements should clearly identify the advertiser and the product or service being offered.
Exaggerated or extravagantly worded copy will not be allowed.
Advertisements will not be accepted if they appear to be indecent or offensive in either text or artwork, or if they relate to content of a personal, racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, or religious nature.
4. Right to Withdraw or Remove Advertisements: IJPMBS reserves the right to withdraw or remove any advertisement from the journal's online issue or website at any time if the Editor-in-Chief or Publisher requests the removal or if the advertisement violates our advertising policy or any law, rule, regulation, or industry standards.
5. Advertisement Placement and Targeting:
IJPMBS will not allow any treatment-specific or drug-specific campaign to be targeted to a specific article(s) or on any page where content relates to the product(s) being advertised.
Advertisers may not link to articles using keywords.
Advertisers may not target advertising for a specific product on the condition that it appears in the same location and at the same time as a specific article mentioning that product.
Advertisers may not refer to an article published at the same time as the advertisement appears.
6. Prohibition of Harmful and Illegal Products:
IJPMBS will not accept advertising for products or services known to be harmful to health (e.g., tobacco and alcohol) or any illegal products.
IJPMBS will not accept advertisements that may appear to be deceptive, misleading, indecent, or defamatory.
7. Distinction between Advertisements and Editorial Content:
Advertisements and editorial content must be clearly distinguishable.
IJPMBS will not publish “advertorial” content, and sponsored supplements must be clearly indicated as such.
If a supplement did not undergo peer review or underwent a peer review process different from the rest of the journal, this should be explicitly stated.
8. Independence of Editorial Decisions:
Editorial decisions will not be influenced by current or potential sponsors and advertisers and will not be influenced by marketing decisions.
Advertisers and sponsors have no control or influence over the results of searches a user may conduct on the website by keyword or search topic.
9. Special Requests:
If any advertisement is requested outside of IJPMBS's standard advertising positions, a request should be made to the editorial team, who will respond with a full and final decision within three business days.
10. Contact Information:
