Advertising Policy

Journal of Education, Psychology and Inclusion (JEPI) is committed to maintaining editorial independence, academic integrity, and transparency in all aspects of its publication process.

At present, JEPI does not accept commercial advertising, sponsored advertisements, or promotional content on its website, in its published articles, or in any part of its editorial or publication workflow.

The journal’s editorial decisions are based solely on scholarly merit, originality, relevance to the journal’s scope, methodological quality, clarity, and compliance with ethical and editorial standards. Advertising or commercial considerations do not influence editorial assessment, peer review, acceptance, rejection, or publication decisions. International transparency principles specifically expect a clear separation between editorial decision-making and advertising or commercial influence.

If the journal adopts advertising in the future, its advertising policy will be updated clearly on the website before implementation. Any future advertising arrangement shall be subject to the following principles: advertisements must be lawful, appropriate, and clearly distinguishable from editorial content; acceptance of advertisements must not imply endorsement by the journal, editors, or publisher; and editorial decisions shall remain fully independent of any advertising, sponsorship, or promotional relationship. These elements reflect the best-practice expectations set out in the transparency principles for scholarly journals.

JEPI will not permit advertising that is misleading, deceptive, intrusive, or inconsistent with the scholarly character of the journal. DOAJ’s guidance specifically notes that journals with intrusive advertising are not acceptable, which makes a restrained and transparent approach especially important for journals seeking credibility and future index inclusion.

This policy may be revised in the future if required, and any revision will be communicated clearly on the journal website.
