Journal policy

Advertising, Sponsorship and Direct Marketing

GMR does not currently accept commercial advertising, sponsored editorial content or paid product promotion.

Current position

No commercial advertisement, sponsored supplement, paid product placement or advertorial is accepted on the journal website or within articles.

Independence from funding

  • Institutional support, grants and donations do not provide editorial privileges.
  • Sponsors cannot select topics, editors, reviewers or outcomes.
  • Author and reviewer contact data are not sold or supplied to advertisers.
  • Manuscript information is never used for marketing before publication.

Future change

Any future advertising will require advance revision of this policy, clear labelling, visual separation from editorial content and safeguards against misleading medical claims or influence on decisions.

Questions or concerns

Use the appropriate secure route when a matter requires a documented response.
