Revenue Sources, Advertising, and Marketing Policies

1. Revenue Sources

Systemia: Journal of Law, Technology and Governance operates on a non-commercial scholarly publishing model. The journal does not charge authors any submission fees, Article Processing Charges (APCs), or publication fees. Editorial and peer-review decisions are made independently of any financial consideration.

The journal may receive institutional support, academic sponsorship, research or publication grants, donations, or other legitimate forms of financial support that are consistent with the journal's academic mission and publication-ethics standards. Any financial support received by the journal must not influence editorial decisions, peer-review outcomes, the selection of reviewers, or the publication of individual manuscripts.

Where financial support is relevant to the operation or publication of the journal, the journal will maintain appropriate transparency regarding the nature and source of such support.

2. Advertising Policy

Systemia: Journal of Law, Technology and Governance does not accept advertising that could compromise the independence, credibility, or academic integrity of the journal.

If advertising is accepted in the future, advertisements must be clearly distinguished from editorial and scholarly content. The acceptance, placement, or removal of an advertisement will have no influence on editorial decisions, peer-review outcomes, manuscript acceptance, or publication priority.

The journal reserves the right to reject or remove advertisements that are misleading, inappropriate, discriminatory, unlawful, politically partisan, or inconsistent with the journal's academic mission and ethical standards.

Advertisers and sponsors will have no authority to influence the content of published articles, editorial decisions, reviewer selection, or the interpretation of scholarly findings.

3. Marketing and Promotional Policy

The journal may promote published articles, special issues, calls for papers, academic events, and other legitimate scholarly activities through its official website, academic networks, institutional channels, indexing and discovery platforms, and appropriate social media or communication channels.

All promotional activities must accurately represent the journal, its publications, authors, and scholarly content. The journal will not engage in misleading, deceptive, or excessive promotional practices, including false claims concerning indexing status, impact, acceptance rates, citation performance, editorial affiliations, or publication opportunities.

Authors may be informed when their articles are promoted through the journal's official communication channels. Promotional activities will not affect editorial decisions or provide preferential treatment to particular authors, institutions, or manuscripts.

4. Editorial Independence

The financial sustainability and promotional activities of Systemia: Journal of Law, Technology and Governance are kept separate from editorial decision-making. Editors and reviewers retain full academic independence in assessing manuscripts.

No sponsor, donor, advertiser, institution, or other external party may influence the acceptance, rejection, revision, peer-review process, or publication of a manuscript.

The journal is committed to maintaining transparency, academic independence, and public trust in all aspects of its publishing operations.
