Advertising Policy

1. No Advertising Accepted

MBER does not accept advertising payments or promotional arrangements involving its editorial content or journal website.

Prohibited advertising formats include:

  • Commercial banners and display advertisements.
  • Sponsored articles or paid promotional content.
  • Product, service, or organizational advertisements.
  • Paid promotional links or marketing placements.
  • Political campaign advertising or paid political endorsements.
  • Other forms of advertising intended to influence the journal's audience.

2. Editorial Independence

All manuscripts are evaluated on the basis of scholarly merit, originality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, and relevance to business and economics.

Neither financial support nor commercial, political, governmental, or institutional influence may determine the acceptance, revision, or rejection of a manuscript. Final editorial decisions remain the responsibility of the authorized Editorial Team.

3. Separation of Editorial and Commercial Activities

The journal maintains a clear separation between its scholarly publication activities and financial or administrative arrangements.

Article Processing Charges, institutional support, and other legitimate publishing arrangements do not constitute advertising and must not influence manuscript evaluation or publication decisions.

If the journal changes its advertising policy in the future, the revised policy will be publicly disclosed. Any future advertising arrangements must remain clearly distinguishable from scholarly content and independent of editorial decisions.

4. Transparency and Ethical Publishing

MBER follows recognized principles of transparency and responsible scholarly publishing. The journal's no-advertising policy helps prevent confusion between independent academic research and commercial or political promotional material.

Editorial decisions are governed by the journal's publication-ethics requirements and are not affected by external promotional interests.
