Editorial Independence and Advertising

Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions at the Journal of Evidence-Based Medical Research are made solely by the journal's editors on the basis of scholarly merit. The publisher, Acadentium Research, has no role in the evaluation, acceptance or rejection of individual manuscripts and does not intervene in editorial decisions. The Editor-in-Chief has full authority over the editorial content of the journal.

The journal receives no commercial sponsorship. Should sponsorship arrangements be entered into in future, they will be disclosed on this page.

Separation of Editorial and Commercial Activities

JEBMR's editorial operations are separate from the commercial research, manuscript-development, consultancy and publication-support services provided by Acadentium Research. Commercial staff must not influence manuscript assessment, reviewer selection or acceptance and rejection decisions, or access confidential peer-review files and decisions.

Purchasing or enquiring about a service from Acadentium Research provides no guarantee of submission, peer review, acceptance, accelerated review or publication in JEBMR. Commercial client information must not be used to give preferential editorial treatment.

Editors, reviewers and editorial staff must disclose relevant financial, professional and organisational relationships and recuse themselves where these could affect independent assessment. Submissions involving an editor, editorial-board member, publisher representative or another person holding a role within Acadentium Research must be assigned to an independent editor. The individual concerned must not participate in reviewer selection, peer review or the publication decision. The handling arrangement must be disclosed in the published article in accordance with the journal's publication-ethics policy.

Professional writing, evidence-synthesis, statistical and submission-support contributions must be disclosed under the journal's authorship and contributorship policy. Such support does not replace authors' responsibility for the accuracy, integrity and accountability of the work.

Editorial personnel must not be rewarded or evaluated on the number of manuscripts accepted, APC revenue or commercial services purchased by authors. APCs are payable only after editorial acceptance and are administered separately from peer review.

Revenue Model

JEBMR is financed through article processing charges and financial or operational support from Acadentium Research. The journal receives no subscription revenue, advertising revenue or commercial sponsorship. Sources of revenue have no influence on editorial decisions.

Advertising

JEBMR does not currently carry advertising.

Should advertising be accepted in future, the following conditions will apply: advertisements will be clearly distinguishable from editorial content; advertisers will have no influence over editorial decisions and no advance knowledge of content; advertising will not be linked to the subject matter of adjacent articles; and the journal will not accept advertising for products proven harmful to health.

Direct Marketing

Any direct marketing conducted by the journal, including calls for papers, is targeted, restrained, and directed only to researchers with demonstrable expertise in the journal's subject areas.

The journal does not send unsolicited bulk invitations, does not make claims about indexing status that are not verifiable on this website, and does not misrepresent publication timelines. Recipients may opt out at any time.
