Advertising Policy
Bayçınar Medical Publishing is committed to maintaining the editorial independence, scientific integrity, and credibility of its journals. Advertising is managed in a transparent and ethical manner and does not influence editorial decisions or published content.
Editorial Independence
Editorial decisions are made solely on the basis of scientific merit, relevance, and ethical considerations. Advertising, sponsorship, or commercial interests have no role in the peer review process or editorial decision-making.
Editors and reviewers operate independently from advertising and marketing activities.
Separation of Advertising and Editorial Content
All advertising material is clearly distinguishable from editorial content. Advertisements are not presented in a way that could be mistaken for scholarly articles or editorial material.
Advertising content is not linked to specific articles, authors, or editorial decisions.
Acceptable Advertising Content
Advertisements must comply with applicable laws, regulations, and ethical standards. Advertising that is misleading, deceptive, or inappropriate for a scientific audience is not accepted.
In particular, advertisements must not:
- Make false or unsubstantiated claims
- Promote unethical or illegal products or services
- Compromise patient safety or public health
- Conflict with the mission and values of Bayçınar Medical Publishing
Medical and Pharmaceutical Advertising

Bayçınar Medical Publishing reserves the right to reject or remove advertisements that do not meet ethical or scientific standards.
Conflicts of Interest

Placement and Display
The placement of advertisements is determined by the publisher and does not interfere with the readability or accessibility of editorial content. Advertisements are clearly labeled and separated from scholarly material.
Digital Advertising
