Revenue Sources, Advertising, and Direct Marketing Policy

The Journal of Islamic Entrepreneurship and Business Research (JIEBR) maintains transparency and integrity in its financial operations. The journal adheres to ethical publishing practices and ensures that its revenue sources, advertising, and marketing activities do not influence editorial decisions.

1. Revenue Sources

To support the sustainability of the journal, JIEBR generates revenue from the following sources:

  • Article Processing Charges (APCs): Authors may be required to pay a publication fee to cover editorial and production costs. However, the journal ensures that APCs remain affordable and do not create barriers to publication.
  • Institutional and Organizational Support: The journal may receive financial support from universities, research institutions, or professional organizations dedicated to advancing Islamic entrepreneurship and business research.
  • Sponsorships and Grants: JIEBR may secure funding from government agencies, foundations, or non-profit organizations that support open-access publishing and academic research.

2. Advertising Policy

  • JIEBR does not publish commercial advertisements that may compromise the credibility and objectivity of academic content.
  • If sponsorship messages are displayed, they will be clearly distinguished from editorial content and will not influence the review or publication process.
  • Any sponsorship or advertising must align with the journal’s scope, mission, and ethical publishing standards.

3. Direct Marketing Policy

  • JIEBR engages in ethical and professional marketing practices to promote the journal, its published articles, and upcoming calls for papers.
  • Promotional activities include email notifications, social media campaigns, and academic conference participation to reach researchers and scholars in relevant fields.
  • The journal does not engage in aggressive or misleading marketing practices and ensures that all communications with authors and readers are professional and respectful.

This policy ensures that JIEBR upholds academic integrity, financial transparency, and ethical publishing standards, while continuing to support high-quality research in Islamic entrepreneurship and business studies.
