Advertising Policy

The Journal of Experimental and Clinical Anatomy (JECA) accepts advertising that is relevant to the journal’s academic readership and consistent with the journal’s mission, ethical standards, and editorial independence.

Advertising may be accepted in print and digital formats, subject to review and approval by the journal or publisher.

1. General Principles

JECA permits advertising that is relevant to:

academic publishing;
scientific research;
anatomy and related biomedical fields;
scholarly products and services;
academic institutions, societies, conferences, and professional events;
research tools, equipment, software, books, and educational resources of relevance to the journal’s readership.

Advertising must be lawful, decent, accurate, and professionally presented.

JECA does not accept advertising that is:

misleading, deceptive, or unsubstantiated;
political, defamatory, discriminatory, or inflammatory;
obscene, offensive, or inappropriate for an academic audience;
unrelated to research, higher education, scholarly communication, or professional scientific activity;
intended primarily for general consumer marketing without academic or scientific relevance.

2. Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions at JECA are made independently of advertising, sponsorship, or commercial considerations.

Acceptance of advertising does not imply endorsement by JECA, the Editors, the Editorial Board, the Society of Experimental and Clinical Anatomists of Nigeria (SECAN), or the publisher of any advertised product, service, organization, or claim.

Advertising must not influence the editorial process, peer review, selection of content, or publishing decisions.

3. Separation of Advertising and Editorial Content

Advertisements must be clearly distinguishable from editorial content.

JECA will not accept advertising that:

is designed to resemble journal articles, editorials, or peer-reviewed content;
could be mistaken for independent scholarly material;
misrepresents a commercial message as editorial content.

Sponsored content, if accepted, must be clearly identified as such.

4. Acceptability of Advertisements

All advertisements must be reviewed before acceptance. JECA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject, withdraw, or require modification of any advertisement at any time, including after initial acceptance, if it is considered unsuitable or inconsistent with journal policy.

Advertisements should:

be relevant to the journal’s readership and subject area;
be factually accurate and not misleading;
be clearly written, legible, and professionally produced;
comply with applicable laws, regulations, and ethical standards;
be appropriate to the placement channel, whether print or digital.

Advertisers and sponsors should generally be affiliated with:

academic institutions;
professional societies;
scholarly publishers;
scientific meetings or events;
laboratory, medical, educational, or research-related products and services relevant to the journal audience.

Non-academic, unrelated consumer-grade commercial advertising is not accepted.

5. Print Advertising

JECA offers display advertising opportunities in the print journal, subject to availability and approval.

Print advertising may provide visibility to:

journal subscribers;
members of relevant professional and academic communities;
conference and symposium delegates;
researchers, clinicians, and scientists in related fields.

Indicative Print Advertising Rate

All rates are subject to confirmation and may be revised by the journal or publisher at any time.

6. Digital Advertising

JECA also offers digital advertising opportunities through its online platforms, subject to review and approval.

Digital advertising may provide broader visibility beyond print circulation and may include website placements or other approved online promotional formats.

All digital advertising must be relevant to:

academic publishing;
scientific research;
the journal’s readership;
the context and channel in which the advertisement appears.

7. Prohibited Advertising Content

JECA does not accept advertisements containing:

false, misleading, or unverifiable claims;
political campaigning or partisan advocacy;
obscene, sexually explicit, hateful, or discriminatory content;
material that may damage the reputation, integrity, or academic standing of the journal;
content that conflicts with applicable law, ethical standards, or the journal’s policies.

8. Responsibility of Advertisers

Advertisers are responsible for ensuring that all submitted advertising material:

is accurate and lawful;
complies with all applicable regulatory and ethical requirements;
does not infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights of third parties;
is suitable for the intended audience and format.

JECA may request evidence to substantiate claims made in an advertisement and may refuse publication where adequate supporting information is not provided.

9. Complaints

Complaints regarding advertising should be submitted to the journal by email. JECA will review all complaints and respond as appropriate.

10. Right to Refuse or Remove Advertising

JECA reserves the right to refuse, suspend, or remove any advertisement that does not comply with this policy or that, in the judgment of the journal, publisher, or editorial leadership, is inconsistent with the journal’s standards, reputation, or mission.
