- Open access
- Ethical outreach
Direct marketing covers announcements of new issues, calls for papers, and information about published articles. It is carried out to increase the visibility and impact of trustworthy research, not to pressure authors or readers.
All outreach identifies INNOVATE as the sender, provides a way to opt out, and limits contact to channels and audiences where communication is appropriate.
Online open access
Published primarily online through the official journal website, freely accessible to readers, researchers, and practitioners worldwide.
Visibility & impact
Publication information, announcements, and calls for papers may be distributed via academic networks, institutional channels, email, and indexing platforms.
Responsible practice
All direct marketing is conducted professionally and ethically — without misleading information or inappropriate solicitation.
Our commitments
- Communications never exaggerate findings, metrics, or indexing status.
- Recipients can unsubscribe from future announcements at any time.
- We do not purchase or resell personal contact lists.
- We do not use misleading subject lines, forged senders, or deceptive links.
Questions or complaints
If you receive communication that appears to violate this policy, contact the editorial office so the message can be investigated and, where appropriate, stopped.
