Advertising & Marketing Policy

MATCHA is committed to maintaining academic integrity, transparency, and editorial independence in all advertising and marketing activities. This policy ensures that the journal remains focused on the publication and dissemination of scholarly work without commercial influence.

Advertising Policy

MATCHA does not display commercial advertisements on its website or on any journal-related platforms. All published content is intended solely for academic and scholarly purposes.

Advertising Standards

As MATCHA does not accept commercial advertisements, all content presented is editorial or scholarly in nature. This approach aims to:

1. Ensure objective and independent editorial decision-making.
2. Maintain the integrity of the peer-review process.
3. Avoid any perception of endorsement of products, services, or organizations.
4. Direct Marketing Policy

MATCHA may conduct limited and targeted direct marketing activities, such as sharing calls for papers or journal updates. These activities are carried out through appropriate academic channels, including the official journal website, academic networks, and professional communication platforms.

1. All direct marketing activities:
2. Are conducted in a respectful and transparent manner.
3. Are relevant to the journal’s focus and scope.
4. Do not involve misleading or aggressive practices.
5. Do not influence editorial decisions or the peer-review process.
6. Conflict of Interest

Marketing activities are managed separately from the editorial process. Any activity that may create a conflict of interest or compromise editorial independence is not permitted.

Policy Review

This policy is reviewed periodically to ensure compliance with international publishing standards and best practices in scholarly publishing.
