Advertising Policy

All advertisements are subject to approval of the Publisher, Editor, or publishing partner of Journal of Language Education which reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement at any time. Advertising content for tobacco, alcohol, recreational drugs or any illegal products will not be accepted.

Statements in advertisements should carry no direct or implied disparagement of another product. There should be no statements that are misleading, exaggerated, or contrary to proven facts. Advertisements may not be indecent, obscene, or defamatory.

The principle of maintaining editorial independence from commercial influence underlies decision-making. Editorial decisions are not influenced by advertising.

Advertisements must be clearly identifiable as advertisements and clearly distinguishable from editorial content. Journal of Language Education will not publish advertisements in the form of editorial content. Sponsored supplements must be clearly indicated as such.

Journal of Language Education will not sell treatment-specific or drug-specific advertising on the condition that it is displayed adjacent to a specific article mentioning that product in print. Online advertising may be targeted by subject and does not appear on the PDF version of articles.

All advertisements must clearly and prominently identify the advertiser by trademark or signature. Print advertising features must carry the statement “Advertising Feature” in a font size at least one-half that of the largest font size used in the advertisement.
