The JESSI Direct Marketing Policy explains how the Journal of Emerging Societies and Societal Intelligence (JESSI) may communicate legitimate journal information and invite manuscript submissions from researchers whose work is relevant to the journal’s Aims and Scope. Direct marketing activities are intended to be appropriate, accurate, well targeted, proportionate, and non-intrusive.JMCS Direct Marketing Policy Aims and Scope

1. Scope of Direct Marketing

Direct marketing may include calls for papers, special-issue announcements, journal updates, invitations to submit manuscripts, and other communications concerning JESSI publishing activities. Such communication is intended to reach researchers or professional audiences with a reasonable subject connection to JESSI.

2. Accuracy and Transparency

JESSI marketing communications must accurately describe the journal, its publisher, Aims and Scope, Peer Review Process, publication schedule, Gold Open Access model, author fees, policies, and current abstracting, indexing, or discovery information. Current journal facts should be checked against the Journal Overview and Journal Insights pages before they are used in outreach.

JESSI will not use misleading, exaggerated, ambiguous, or unverifiable claims about the journal or its services. This approach is consistent with the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing, which state that journal direct marketing should be appropriate, well targeted, unobtrusive, truthful, and not misleading.

3. No Guarantees or Improper Claims

JESSI will not use direct marketing to guarantee manuscript acceptance, favourable peer review, unusually rapid publication, citation impact, future indexing, or any other outcome that depends on independent editorial assessment or external evaluation. Authors should rely on the current Peer Review Process, Author Guidelines, and Submit Manuscript pages for the journal’s actual procedures and requirements.

4. Targeting and Frequency

Communications should be directed to audiences for whom JESSI’s subject coverage is reasonably relevant. Marketing should be proportionate in frequency and should not be repetitive, intrusive, deceptive, or designed to pressure recipients into submitting manuscripts or purchasing services.

5. Editorial Independence

Direct marketing is kept separate from editorial decision-making. Whether an author receives, opens, responds to, ignores, or opts out of a marketing communication has no influence on initial editorial assessment, reviewer selection, double-blind peer review, acceptance, rejection, correction, retraction, or publication. The journal’s Revenue Sources Statement also explains the separation of financial considerations from editorial decisions.

6. Use of Contact Information and Privacy

Contact information used for journal communication is handled in accordance with the JESSI Privacy Policy and is used only for legitimate journal and publishing purposes. JESSI does not treat an individual’s response to marketing as an editorial factor. Recipients may contact the publisher regarding inappropriate or unwanted communications.JMCS Privacy Policy

7. Opt-Out and Complaints

Recipients may request that JESSI stop sending non-essential direct marketing communications to them. Requests or complaints concerning journal marketing may be sent to the editorial office. Operational communications relating to an active submission, peer review, editorial appointment, payment, production, correction, or publication are service communications and are not treated as marketing messages.
