Advertising and Direct Marketing

Advertising Policy

The Journal of International Business, Economics and Entrepreneurship (JIBE) does not accept any form of advertising. This includes, but is not limited to, banner ads, sponsored content, promotional materials or commercial messages on the journal website or within published articles.

This strict policy ensures that:

• Editorial independence is fully maintained, with no influence from commercial interests.
• All published content preserves academic neutrality and scholarly objectivity.
• A clear and consistent separation exists between editorial decisions and any potential commercial pressures.

By maintaining an advertisement-free environment, JIBE reinforces its commitment to ethical publishing, academic excellence and the trust of the global scholarly community.

Direct Marketing Policy

JIBE adheres to high ethical standards in all forms of direct communication and outreach, including calls for papers, manuscript invitations and journal announcements. All communications are designed to support the integrity and transparency of the journal.

Key principles include:

• Appropriate and targeted outreach: Communications are directed only to researchers whose expertise aligns with the journal’s aims and scope.
• Transparency and accuracy: All messages clearly state JIBE’s editorial policies, open-access publishing model and institutional affiliation.
• Respectful and unobtrusive engagement: Outreach avoids spam, excessive solicitation and includes clear options to opt out of future communications.

Through these practices, JIBE ensures academic independence, ethical communication and trust among authors, reviewers and readers, in alignment with international indexing standards and best practices.
