Advertising Policy

The Journal of Complementary Therapies in Midwifery and Nursing (JCTMN) maintains a strict and transparent advertising policy to ensure that all advertisements are ethical, relevant, and do not influence editorial decision-making.

1. Independence and Editorial Integrity

Advertising does not influence editorial content, peer review, or decisions regarding manuscript acceptance.
The Editor-in-Chief and editorial team operate independently of commercial interests or advertising sponsors.

2. Advertising Eligibility

Advertisements must be relevant to the fields of nursing, midwifery, health sciences, or complementary therapies.
Acceptable advertisements may include those related to academic conferences, educational programs, books, clinical products, medical equipment, and research-related services.

Advertisements will be rejected if they:

Promote products or services that are misleading, harmful, or lack scientific evidence.
Contain offensive, discriminatory, or unethical content.
Conflict with the mission and values of JCTMN.

Advertisements will be clearly distinguishable from editorial content.
They may appear on the journal website, in published issues, or in email newsletters but will never be placed within article content.

5. Review and Approval

All advertisements are subject to review and approval by the journal’s management team.
JCTMN reserves the right to accept, reject, or remove any advertisement at any time without providing justification.

6. Sponsorship and Transparency
