Advertising Policy

The journal Investigación en Discapacidad is committed to upholding the highest standards of editorial integrity and independence while maintaining its diamond open access model. This model ensures that authors are not charged for publishing and readers have unrestricted access to all published content. To sustain this commitment in times of budgetary constraints, the journal may accept advertising under the following strict guidelines:

  1. Editorial Independence
    All advertising decisions are made independently of the editorial team. Advertisers have no influence on the content, peer review, or editorial decisions of the journal. The presence of advertisements does not imply endorsement of the products, services, or companies mentioned.

  2. Advertising Standards
    Advertisements must comply with ethical, legal, and professional standards. Advertisements promoting products, services, or messages must be accurate, not misleading, and relevant to the journal’s audience, which includes researchers, clinicians, and professionals in the field of disability studies.

  3. Content Separation
    Advertisements will be clearly distinguishable from editorial content. Placement of advertisements will not compromise the readability or usability of scholarly articles and will not interrupt the presentation of academic content.

  4. Prohibited Advertising
    The journal will not accept advertisements for:

    • Products or services that are harmful or discriminatory.
    • Content that contradicts the ethical values and mission of Investigación en Discapacidad.
    • Companies or organizations that attempt to exert influence on editorial decisions.

  5. Review Process for Advertisements
    All advertising submissions will be reviewed by a designated committee to ensure compliance with the journal’s advertising policy and ethical standards.

  6. Transparency and Revenue Allocation
    Revenue generated from advertising will be transparently managed and used exclusively to support the journal’s operations, such as maintaining the diamond open access model, improving technological infrastructure, and promoting the dissemination of scientific knowledge in the field of disability research.

  7. Conflicts of Interest
    Advertisements from organizations with a potential conflict of interest related to the journal’s content will be scrutinized with particular care to ensure transparency and impartiality.

This policy reflects Investigación en Discapacidad’s dedication to academic excellence, ethical publishing practices, and the promotion of equitable access to scientific knowledge.
