Advertising and Revenue Policy

The International Journal of Social Exploration (IJSoE) is committed to maintaining a clear separation between its financial arrangements and its editorial and peer-review processes.

Advertising

At present, IJSoE does not accept or display paid commercial advertising on the journal website or within published scholarly articles.

If the journal considers accepting advertising in the future, an appropriate advertising policy will be established and publicly disclosed before such advertising is introduced.

Any future advertising arrangements will remain separate from editorial content and will not influence manuscript selection, peer review, editorial decisions, or publication.

Current Revenue Model

At present, the journal does not generate revenue through Article Processing Charges (APCs), subscriptions, pay-per-view access, or commercial advertising.

The journal's current publishing and digital infrastructure is supported through the resources of its publisher, Research Academy for Transformative Humanities and Innovation.

Article Processing Charges

IJSoE currently does not charge an Article Processing Charge (APC).

Any future APC will be governed by the journal's separate Article Processing Charge (APC) Policy and will be disclosed transparently before becoming applicable to authors.

Sponsorship and External Support

The journal may receive institutional, organizational, grant-based, technical, or other legitimate forms of support in the future.

Where such support is received and is relevant to journal operations, it may be disclosed appropriately.

Sponsors, funders, supporting institutions, advertisers, or other financial contributors will not determine manuscript acceptance, reviewer selection, editorial decisions, or the conclusions of published scholarly work.

Editorial Independence

Financial considerations, funding arrangements, sponsorship, institutional support, advertising, or the existence or absence of an APC will not determine editorial or peer-review decisions.

Manuscripts will be assessed according to their scholarly merit, relevance, originality, methodological quality, ethical integrity, and suitability for the journal.

Future Changes

The journal may revise its business or revenue model as its publishing operations develop. Any material change affecting authors or readers will be communicated transparently on the journal website before implementation.
