Advertising and Direct Marketing Policy

International Journal of Research in Vocational Studies (IJRVOCAS) is committed to maintaining editorial independence, academic integrity, and transparency in all publishing activities.

IJRVOCAS does not allow advertising, sponsorship, or direct marketing activities to influence editorial decisions, peer-review outcomes, manuscript acceptance, publication timing, or the academic content of published articles.

Any promotional or informational communication related to the journal must be accurate, transparent, respectful, and not misleading. IJRVOCAS does not use aggressive, deceptive, or inappropriate solicitation practices to invite manuscript submissions, reviewers, editorial board members, or special issue contributions.

The journal may disseminate calls for papers, publication information, announcements, indexing updates, and academic activities through official communication channels. Such communication must clearly represent the journal’s aims and scope, editorial policies, peer-review process, publication fees, and open-access model.

IJRVOCAS does not guarantee acceptance, fast-track publication, citation advantage, indexing inclusion, or publication outcomes in any promotional communication. All submitted manuscripts are evaluated through the journal’s standard editorial screening and double-blind peer-review process.

If any advertising, sponsorship, partnership, or promotional material is displayed on the journal website in the future, it must be clearly distinguishable from editorial content and must not compromise the journal’s editorial independence or ethical publishing standards.

The publisher, editorial team, and journal management are responsible for ensuring that advertising and direct marketing practices remain transparent, ethical, and consistent with responsible scholarly publishing.
