Advertising Policy

SATUKATA: Jurnal Sains, Teknik, dan Studi Kemasyarakatan (Journal of Science, Engineering, and Society) is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and quality in its publications. The journal's Advertising Policy ensures that any commercial advertisements included in or alongside the journal’s content do not interfere with the objectivity, credibility, or independence of the research published.

1. Advertising Content

  • Relevance: Any advertisements published in SATUKATA will be relevant to the academic and scientific community, particularly in the fields of science, engineering, and social sciences. Advertisements promoting scholarly materials, conferences, educational tools, academic resources, or related products and services are accepted.

  • Approval: All advertisements must be approved by the editorial board to ensure that they align with the journal’s academic standards and ethical guidelines. The content of advertisements must not mislead readers or promote products or services that conflict with the journal's values.

  • No Influence on Editorial Content: Advertisements will be kept separate from editorial content and will not influence or alter the content, structure, or quality of published research. SATUKATA ensures that advertisements do not affect the objectivity or neutrality of the published articles.

2. Placement of Advertisements

  • Separation from Content: Advertisements will be clearly separated from the journal's articles and other content to avoid confusion. They will appear in designated advertising sections or alongside specific pages but will not be included within the research articles or academic content.

  • Clear Distinction: Advertisements will be labeled clearly to distinguish them from scholarly content. This ensures that readers are aware of which material is sponsored and which is peer-reviewed academic research.

3. No Endorsement of Products or Services

  • SATUKATA does not endorse or take responsibility for the products, services, or opinions expressed in any advertisement. The presence of an advertisement in the journal does not imply that SATUKATA has verified or supports the product or service being promoted.

  • Authors and editorial staff are not involved in the placement or promotion of advertisements, ensuring that academic content remains independent.

4. Advertising Rates and Terms

  • Advertising Rates: Advertising rates will be published separately, outlining the costs for placing advertisements in the journal. These rates will be transparent and available to potential advertisers upon request.

  • Ad Placement Agreements: Advertisers must enter into a formal agreement with SATUKATA, which will specify the duration, placement, and terms of advertisement publication. All agreements will adhere to ethical standards and transparency.

5. Ethical Considerations

  • No Conflict with Research Integrity: Advertisements must not be misleading, inaccurate, or conflict with the journal’s mission to promote high-quality academic research. SATUKATA reserves the right to reject any advertisement that is deemed unethical or contrary to the values of the journal.

  • Compliance with Legal Standards: All advertisements must comply with local laws, regulations, and academic publishing standards. Advertisers must ensure that they have the necessary permissions and licenses for any content or claims made in the advertisement.

6. Disclosure of Sponsored Content

  • If a piece of content within the journal is sponsored or part of an advertisement campaign (e.g., sponsored articles or special issues), it will be clearly marked as such to distinguish it from peer-reviewed academic work. This ensures full transparency for readers.

7. Review and Adjustment

  • SATUKATA reserves the right to review and adjust its advertising policy periodically to ensure it aligns with the journal's academic goals and ethical standards. Any changes to the policy will be communicated to advertisers and the academic community.

By following this Advertising Policy, SATUKATA ensures that advertisements are handled ethically, transparently, and in a manner that does not compromise the academic integrity or independence of the journal. The policy is designed to maintain the journal’s credibility while allowing advertisers to reach a relevant audience in the scientific and academic community.
