Advertising Policy
Asian Review of Social Sciences (ARSS) does not currently publish or display commercial advertisements. Editorial content, peer review and publication decisions are independent of advertising or promotional considerations.
1. Current Advertising Practice
ARSS does not currently accept commercial advertising on its journal website or within published scholarly articles.
2. Editorial Independence
Advertising, if introduced in the future, will not influence initial editorial assessment, reviewer selection, peer review, acceptance, rejection, correction, retraction or any other editorial decision. Editors and reviewers will not be asked to make decisions on the basis of advertising relationships or revenue.
3. Separation from Published Content
Any future advertising will be clearly distinguishable from editorial and scholarly content and will not be presented in a way that could imply ARSS or CRI endorsement of an advertised product, service, organisation or claim.
4. Future Advertising Decisions
If ARSS introduces advertising, the policy will be updated before implementation to state which types of advertisements may be considered, who makes acceptance decisions, how advertisements are placed, and whether any contextual or behavioural targeting is used.
5. Conflicts of Interest
Actual or potential conflicts arising from advertising relationships will be managed so editorial independence and integrity are protected. Revenue arrangements are further described in the ARSS Revenue Sources Statement.
6. Current Online Advertising Status
Because ARSS does not currently accept commercial advertising, it does not currently use advertiser-directed behavioural targeting or link editorial decisions to advertising activity. If the practice changes, this policy will be updated before advertising is introduced.
7. Contact
Questions about advertising may be sent to the ARSS editorial office at editorial@crijournals.org.
