Direct Marketing

All direct marketing activities, including journal promotion, calls for papers, manuscript solicitation, and print distribution, are conducted transparently, professionally, and responsibly. These activities primarily target educational institutions, universities, academic publishers, and language research institutions.

To prevent misleading or predatory promotional practices, the journal implements the following safeguards:

  1. Accurate Information: All promotional materials must provide truthful and verifiable information about the journal's aims and scope, editorial board, peer-review process, publication schedule, indexing status, open-access policy, and publication fees.
  2. No False Indexing Claims: The journal does not claim to be indexed, accredited, or affiliated with any indexing service or scholarly organization without verifiable evidence.
  3. Transparent Peer Review: Promotional communications must accurately describe the journal's peer-review model and must not promise guaranteed acceptance, unrealistically rapid publication, or favorable editorial decisions in exchange for payment.
  4. Responsible Manuscript Solicitation: Calls for papers and invitations to submit manuscripts must be relevant to the journal's scope, professionally worded, and distributed to appropriate academic audiences. The journal does not send misleading, unsolicited mass emails or repeatedly contact recipients who have declined further communication.
  5. Transparent Publication Fees: All applicable publication charges must be clearly stated on the journal's official website. Authors must be informed of any applicable fees before submitting or accepting publication terms, and no undisclosed charges may be imposed.
  6. Verified Editorial Board and Affiliations: The names, affiliations, and academic credentials of editors and reviewers must be presented accurately and must not be used without authorization.
  7. No Misleading Impact Claims: The journal does not fabricate impact factors, citation metrics, acceptance rates, publication statistics, awards, partnerships, or other indicators of academic standing.
  8. Official Communication Channels: Journal promotions and manuscript invitations must use identifiable, authorized communication channels associated with the journal or its publisher, CV Wahana Publikasi.
  9. Ethical Distribution and Partnerships: Promotional activities, including print distribution and institutional partnerships, must not imply endorsements, institutional affiliations, or indexing relationships that have not been formally established.
  10. Monitoring and Corrective Action: The editorial team periodically reviews promotional materials and communications for accuracy. Misleading claims are corrected or withdrawn promptly, and complaints concerning inappropriate marketing are investigated by the editorial office.

All direct marketing activities are intended to inform the scholarly community and encourage relevant, high-quality submissions. Marketing activities do not influence editorial decisions, peer-review outcomes, or publication acceptance. The journal is committed to maintaining transparency, academic integrity, and responsible publishing practices in all promotional activities.
