Advertising Policy
Last updated 31 October 2024
Introduction
These principles are designed to ensure adherence to the highest ethical standards of advertising and to determine the eligibility of products and services for advertising on Premier Science, its publications and services. The appearance of advertising is neither a guarantee nor an endorsement of the product or the claims made for the product in such advertising.
The fact that an advertisement for a product, service, or company has appeared shall not be referred to in collateral advertising. As a matter of policy, Premier Science will sell advertising space in its publications when the inclusion of advertising does not interfere with its mission or objectives. To maintain integrity, advertising (ie, promotional material, advertising representatives, companies, or manufacturers) cannot influence editorial decisions or editorial content. Decisions to sell advertising space are made independently of and without information pertinent to specific editorial content.
