This policy applies to all advertising and promotional content associated with the British Journal of Business Sciences, published by Meta Open Sciences.

The British Journal of Business Sciences (BJBS) maintains a strict and transparent advertising policy that reflects its commitment to academic integrity, ethical publishing, and the dissemination of high-quality, independent scholarly research.

1. Independence of Editorial Content

All editorial decisions at BJBS are made independently of commercial, financial, or promotional interests. The peer-review process and publication outcomes are not influenced by advertising, sponsorship, or marketing arrangements.

The journal does not endorse any product, service, organization, or individual that may appear in advertisements.

2. Prohibition of Advertising Articles

BJBS does not accept or publish advertising articles, sponsored manuscripts, or promotional papers—whether submitted on a paid or unpaid basis. All submissions are evaluated solely on the basis of scholarly merit, relevance, and methodological rigor.

3. Prohibited Content and Topics

BJBS does not permit advertising or sponsored material related to illegal, deceptive, unethical, or academically misleading practices.

Content that conflicts with principles of social responsibility, sustainability, business ethics, or academic integrity is excluded from all forms of promotion associated with the journal.

4. Separation of Advertising and Editorial Material

All advertisements are clearly distinguished from editorial content. Sponsored content, if any, must be explicitly labeled and must not resemble scholarly articles in format or presentation.

Advertisers have no influence over the placement of ads next to specific articles or topics.

5. Restrictions on Keyword Linking

Authors are not permitted to include commercial links, marketing keywords, or promotional references in their manuscripts. This ensures a clear distinction between academic research and advertising content.

6. Transparency and Reader Trust

BJBS is committed to transparency with its readers. Advertising practices must not compromise the credibility, objectivity, or scholarly value of the journal.

7. Editorial Oversight and Enforcement

The editors of the British Journal of Business Sciences and Meta Open Sciences reserve the right to reject, remove, or terminate any advertisement that conflicts with the journal’s values or ethical standards.
