Advertising policy

Frontiers in Preventive Medicine maintains the highest standards of editorial independence and integrity. The publication of advertisements is solely a means of generating revenue and does not imply endorsement by the Journal, its Editors, or the Public Health Young Scholars Alliance.

1. General Principles
  • Separation of Content: Advertising must be easily distinguishable from editorial content. All advertisements will be clearly labeled as "Advertisement."

  • Editorial Independence: The acceptance or rejection of an advertisement will not influence the editorial decision-making process for any manuscript. Advertisers will have no prior knowledge of or influence over the journal's content.

  • Liability: The advertiser is solely responsible for the content of the advertisement, including any claims made therein. The Journal reserves the right to reject, cancel, or request modifications to any advertisement at any time.

2. Eligibility and Content Guidelines

The Journal reserves the right to accept or decline any advertisement. Advertisements are subject to approval and must comply with the following guidelines:

Acceptable Advertisements may include:

  • Scholarly or professional conferences, meetings, and workshops.

  • Academic and professional books or journals.

  • Laboratory equipment, software, and services relevant to the fields of preventive medicine and public health.

  • Educational and professional development opportunities.

  • Relevant philanthropic or non-commercial initiatives.

Prohibited Advertisements include, but are not limited to:

  • Content that is misleading, fraudulent, defamatory, or offensive.

  • Political or religious advocacy.

  • Products such as tobacco, firearms, and alcoholic beverages.

  • Advertisements that constitute personal attacks or are in poor scientific taste.

  • Content that infringes upon the intellectual property rights of others.

  • Advertisements that are not appropriate for the journal's professional audience.

3. Placement and Design
  • Advertisements will not be placed on or within the PDF version of any specific article in a manner that suggests a direct endorsement by the authors of that article.

  • Advertisements will not be integrated into the editorial content in a way that compromises its integrity.

  • The use of the Journal's logo or name in an advertisement is prohibited without prior written consent.

4. Digital Advertising
  • The Journal may use third-party advertising networks to serve digital advertisements.

  • While the Journal will make reasonable efforts to ensure compliance, it is not responsible for the content of advertisements served by these third parties.

  • The Journal complies with applicable data privacy laws. For more information, please see our Privacy Statement.
