Advertising Policy

The National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology (NJPPP) is committed to maintaining an independent, impartial, and scholarly publishing environment. The journal does not accept advertising and does not permit commercial advertising to influence its editorial, peer-review, or publication decisions.

1. No Advertising

NJPPP does not accept or display commercial advertisements on its journal website, within published articles, or in other journal publication materials.

This policy applies to advertisements for commercial products, services, companies, institutions, organizations, and other promotional activities.

2. Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions are made independently on the basis of the scientific quality, originality, methodological rigor, relevance, ethical compliance, and contribution of submitted manuscripts.

Neither advertisers nor other commercial entities have any role in:

• manuscript selection;

• editorial decisions;

• peer-review assignments;

• reviewer recommendations;

• acceptance or rejection decisions; or

• publication of scholarly content.

NJPPP follows a double-blind peer-review process for manuscripts subject to peer review.

3. Separation of Commercial and Editorial Activities

The journal maintains a clear separation between editorial activities and commercial or financial activities associated with publishing.

Payment of applicable publication charges, where relevant, does not guarantee acceptance or influence the editorial or peer-review process. Manuscripts are evaluated independently of the authors' ability or willingness to pay publication-related charges.

4. No Commercial Influence on Published Content

NJPPP does not accept payment or other benefits in exchange for favorable editorial treatment, publication decisions, alteration of peer-review outcomes, or modification of scholarly content.

The journal does not permit commercial interests to determine the selection, presentation, interpretation, or conclusions of published research.

5. Sponsored or Promotional Content

NJPPP does not publish paid promotional articles, advertorials, product advertisements, or other commercial promotional content presented as scholarly material.

Any non-editorial commercial communication, if introduced in the future, would be clearly distinguished from editorial and scholarly content and would not be permitted to influence editorial decisions.

6. Publisher and Financial Independence

The publisher and journal management support the editorial independence of NJPPP. Financial considerations, including publication-related revenue, must not override ethical standards, peer-review requirements, or editorial judgment.

The journal's financial arrangements are kept separate from the assessment of the scientific merit of submitted manuscripts.

7. Open Access and Reader Access

NJPPP is committed to providing open access to its published scholarly content. The absence of advertising is intended to maintain a focused scholarly environment and is independent of the journal's open-access model.

Published content remains freely accessible to readers without dependence on advertising revenue.

8. Transparency

NJPPP provides clear information about its publishing policies, editorial procedures, publication charges where applicable, licensing, and other relevant publishing arrangements.

Any future change to the journal's advertising policy will be communicated transparently and will continue to protect editorial independence and research integrity.

9. Policy Review

This policy may be reviewed periodically to ensure that it remains consistent with developments in scholarly publishing, research integrity, and recognized publishing standards.

Any revision will preserve the fundamental principle that commercial interests must not influence editorial decision-making or the integrity of the scholarly record.

10. Commitment to Editorial Integrity

NJPPP's no-advertising policy reinforces its commitment to an impartial scholarly environment in which research is evaluated and published according to its scientific and ethical merits rather than commercial considerations.

The journal remains committed to maintaining the trust of authors, reviewers, editors, readers, and the wider scientific community through transparent and independent editorial practices.
