SALT JSRH is a strong advocate for open access and ethical publishing practices. While we believe in making research freely available, we also recognize the need for sustainable financial models to support our operations and maintain the journal's quality. In this context, we have carefully crafted an advertising policy that adheres to the highest ethical standards and ensures the integrity of our research platform.
Unlike some journals, SALT JSRH employs a limited advertising approach. We prioritize the user experience and focus on promoting content and services relevant to our healthcare research audience. This means you won't encounter intrusive banner ads or pop-ups on our website.
We carefully consider the types of advertisements accepted to ensure they:·
Align with our mission and values: We only accept ads from reputable organizations and products relevant to healthcare research, education, or tools for researchers and healthcare professionals.
Do not mislead or exploit readers: We are committed to responsible advertising and reject any ads that are deceptive, exploit vulnerable audiences, or make unsubstantiated claims.
Do not promote harmful products: We strictly prohibit advertising for products or services known to be harmful to health, such as tobacco or alcohol.
A dedicated committee, independent of the editorial team, reviews and approves all advertising requests. This ensures that advertising decisions are based on objective criteria and do not influence editorial content or research integrity.
We clearly distinguish advertisements from editorial content. Ad placements are designated and visually distinct from research articles, reviews, or other scholarly content. We also avoid targeting ads based on reader behavior or personal data to protect user privacy.
Our advertising policy is clearly stated on our website, allowing readers and potential advertisers to understand our principles and approach. We are open to feedback and continuously review our policy to ensure it remains aligned with ethical publishing practices and user expectations.
SALT JSRH believes in striking a balance between financial sustainability and open access. While advertising contributes to our operational costs, it never compromises the quality or integrity of the research we publish. We remain committed to making healthcare knowledge freely accessible and empowering researchers to share their groundbreaking work without financial barriers.If you have any questions about our advertising policy, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are always happy to discuss our approach and address any concerns you may have.
