Direct Marketing Policy

The Journal of Population and Social Studies (JPSS) does not engage in direct marketing activities to solicit manuscripts from authors or promote submissions to the journal. Instead, calls for papers may be announced on the journal's website, and the journal's presence may be promoted through academic brochures, social media platforms, or similar materials. Our social media marketing will be conducted thoughtfully, targeting appropriate scholarly and professional communities to expand the journal’s reach while adhering to ethical standards.

Should any direct marketing activities be conducted on behalf of the journal, they will be appropriate, targeted, and unobtrusive, ensuring that all information provided is accurate, truthful, and not misleading to readers or authors.

By incorporating these practices, JPSS ensures that its marketing efforts align with the standard practices of academic journals while maintaining transparency and integrity in all communications.
