Advertising Policy
The International Journal of Halal Industry (IJHI) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of editorial independence, integrity, and transparency. Advertising, sponsorship, or other commercial activities shall not influence editorial decisions, peer review processes, or the publication of scholarly content.
Editorial Independence
All editorial decisions are made solely on the basis of scholarly merit, scientific quality, originality, and relevance to the journal’s scope. Advertisers, sponsors, or commercial partners have no influence over the editorial process, manuscript evaluation, acceptance decisions, or publication outcomes.
The Editorial Board does not endorse any product, service, organization, or claim presented in advertisements or sponsored materials appearing on the journal website or in journal publications.
Advertising Standards
All advertisements must be legal, accurate, ethical, and clearly distinguishable from editorial content. Advertisements must not be deceptive, misleading, offensive, discriminatory, or inconsistent with accepted academic and professional standards.
Advertisements must clearly identify the advertiser and the product or service being promoted. The journal reserves the right to reject, remove, or discontinue any advertisement that does not comply with this policy or that may harm the reputation, integrity, or mission of the journal.
Compliance with Islamic Values
As a journal dedicated to halal industry research, IJHI will not accept advertisements for products, services, or activities that are inconsistent with Islamic principles and values. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Alcoholic beverages;
- Tobacco and related products;
- Pork and non-halal products;
- Conventional interest-based financial services;
- Gambling-related products or services;
- Adult or sexually explicit content; and
- Any products or services prohibited under Islamic law.
Separation of Advertising and Editorial Content
Advertising and sponsored content must be clearly separated from editorial content. The journal does not publish advertorials or promotional materials presented as scholarly content.
Any sponsored supplement, special issue, or sponsored content must be clearly identified as such. If a sponsored publication is subject to a different review process from the journal’s standard peer-review procedure, this will be explicitly disclosed.
Targeted Advertising
Advertisements shall not be linked to, targeted toward, or displayed in connection with specific articles, authors, reviewers, editorial decisions, or research findings. Advertisers may not influence the placement of advertisements based on the content of individual articles or search results generated by users.
Removal of Advertisements
The Editor-in-Chief and Publisher reserve the right to reject, suspend, or remove any advertisement at any time without prior notice if it is deemed inappropriate, misleading, inconsistent with the journal’s mission, or otherwise in violation of this policy.
Complaints
Complaints regarding advertisements may be submitted to the Editorial Office. All complaints will be reviewed and addressed in accordance with the journal’s policies and ethical publishing standards.
