Advertising Policy and Revenue Sources

Advertising Policy

Al-Turath Al-Adabi is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity, transparency, and editorial independence in all aspects of its publishing activities.

In accordance with internationally recognised scholarly publishing standards, including the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) regarding transparency and editorial independence, the journal ensures that advertising and commercial considerations have no influence whatsoever on editorial decisions, peer-review outcomes, manuscript acceptance, or publication processes.

The journal may accept advertisements related to academic, educational, research, publishing, and scholarly activities that are consistent with its aims and scope. All advertisements, if accepted, will be clearly distinguished from editorial and scholarly content to avoid any potential conflict of interest or misunderstanding among readers.

The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject any advertisement that is misleading, deceptive, inappropriate, unethical, or inconsistent with the journal’s mission, academic values, and publishing standards.

Any advertising arrangements shall be managed with complete transparency and under the institutional oversight of the Department of Arabic, National University of Modern Languages (NUML), Islamabad, Pakistan. Such arrangements shall not affect the journal’s editorial policies, peer-review procedures, publication decisions, or academic standards.

Editorial Independence

All business operations, including advertising, sponsorship, and revenue generation activities, are conducted independently of the editorial decision-making process.

The Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board retain full authority and responsibility for evaluating, accepting, rejecting, and publishing manuscripts solely on the basis of scholarly merit, originality, relevance, and the results of the double-blind peer-review process. No commercial, financial, institutional, or personal interests are permitted to influence editorial judgements.
