Ownership, Revenue, Advertising and Direct Marketing Policy

Ownership and Publisher

The Journal of Biomedical Sciences and Health (JBSH) is published by Universitas Karya Husada Semarang. The journal's scholarly content and editorial decisions are managed according to its published editorial policies.

Revenue and Financial Support

JBSH is institutionally supported by Universitas Karya Husada Semarang. The journal does not charge submission fees, article processing charges, page charges, colour charges, or other author publication fees. Financial or institutional support does not determine whether a manuscript is accepted or rejected.

Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions are based on scholarly merit, relevance, methodological quality, research and publication ethics, and the independent peer-review process. The publisher, funders, sponsors, or other commercial interests must not interfere with individual editorial decisions.

Advertising

JBSH currently does not accept paid commercial advertising within its scholarly journal content. If advertising is introduced in the future, advertisements will be clearly distinguishable from editorial content and will not be linked to editorial decisions or targeted according to acceptance of individual manuscripts.

Sponsorship

Any sponsorship relevant to journal activities or individual publications must be transparently disclosed. Sponsored content, if ever considered, will be subject to clear labeling and will not bypass normal ethical and editorial standards.

Direct Marketing

Journal communications and calls for papers must be accurate, professional, and not misleading. JBSH does not guarantee acceptance, rapid acceptance, indexing, citation outcomes, or other benefits in exchange for submission or payment.
