Advertising and Sponsorship Policy

At Center for Energy and Economics Studies, we are committed to maintaining the academic integrity and independence of our publications. To ensure that our scholarly works remain objective and free from external commercial influences, we do not accept advertisements in any form. However, we do accept sponsorships that align with our mission and values.

  1. No Advertising

We do not permit any form of advertising within our publications or on our website. This policy is designed to uphold the academic independence and scholarly focus of our content. Advertisements may introduce potential biases or conflicts of interest, which we aim to avoid in order to maintain the credibility and integrity of the work we publish.

  1. Sponsorships

While we do not accept advertising, we do welcome sponsorships that support our publications, events, and initiatives. Sponsorships are accepted solely for financial or resource support, and sponsors do not influence the content or editorial decisions of our publications.

Types of Sponsorships We Accept:

  • Financial support for publication-related costs.
  • Resource or logistical support for events, conferences, or research initiatives.
  • Educational or research-focused sponsorships that align with our academic mission.
  1. Transparency and Independence

We are committed to transparency in our sponsorship agreements. All sponsorships will be clearly disclosed to our readers, and we will ensure that sponsors have no direct involvement in the editorial processes or decision-making related to the content of our publications.

  1. Ethical Standards

All sponsorships must adhere to our ethical standards, which prioritize academic integrity and avoid conflicts of interest. We will not accept sponsorships from organizations or entities that:

  • Promote or engage in practices that contradict our ethical guidelines.
  • Have conflicts of interest that may compromise the objectivity of our work.
  • Seek to unduly influence editorial decisions or content.
  1. Clear Sponsorship Identification

We will clearly mark sponsored content and ensure that there is no confusion between scholarly work and sponsored material. Sponsored content will be clearly labeled, and any mention of sponsors within publications will be in a manner that does not undermine the scholarly nature of the work.

  1. Review and Approval Process

All sponsorship agreements will be reviewed by our editorial board to ensure that the sponsorship aligns with our academic standards and ethical guidelines. Sponsorships will be approved based on their relevance to our field of publication and their commitment to supporting academic excellence.

By adhering to this policy, Center for Energy and Economics Studies aims to maintain a platform that prioritizes the credibility, independence, and integrity of the academic work we publish, while fostering valuable partnerships that support the advancement of knowledge in energy and economics.
