Advertising and Direct Marketing

Advertising and Direct Marketing Policy

The Built Environment Journal (BEJ) does not accept or display advertisements of any kind, including banner ads, sponsored content, or promotional materials. This policy ensures:

• Editorial decisions remain entirely independent and unbiased

• Published content retains its academic neutrality

• A clear separation is maintained between content and any commercial interests

Should advertising be considered in the future, all content will:

• Be subject to editorial approval

• Be clearly distinguished from scholarly content

• Not influence the peer-review or editorial process in any way

Additionally, BEJ adheres to ethical standards in its direct marketing and communication practices. All outreach efforts, including calls for papers or manuscript invitations, are:

• Appropriate and well-targeted, focused on researchers whose work aligns with BEJ’s scope

• Truthful and transparent, providing accurate information about the journal

• Respectful and non-intrusive, with clear opt-out options

BEJ is committed to maintaining transparency, academic integrity, and the trust of its contributors and readership in all forms of communication and engagement.
