Business Model, Advertising, and Marketing Policies

Business Model and Revenue Sources

The International Journal of Didactical Studies (IJODS) operates as a non-commercial, open-access scholarly journal.

To support the basic operational costs associated with the administrative and technical management of the editorial workflow, peer-review infrastructure, website maintenance, and long-term accessibility of published content, IJODS applies a modest Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD 100. The APC is requested only after a manuscript has successfully completed the peer-review process and has been formally accepted for publication.

Editorial decisions are made independently of any financial considerations. The payment, waiver, or non-payment of publication fees has no influence on the peer-review process, editorial evaluation, or publication outcomes.

Advertising Policy

IJODS does not accept advertising in any form. The journal does not publish commercial advertisements, sponsored content, or promotional materials on its website or within published articles.

There is no relationship between advertising, editorial content, or reader behavior. All published content is kept strictly separate from any form of promotion to preserve academic integrity and editorial independence.

Direct Marketing and Solicitation Policy

IJODS does not engage in aggressive or mass marketing activities. Any direct communication conducted on behalf of the journal, including invitations to submit manuscripts or to participate in editorial or review activities, is limited, well targeted, and conducted in a professional and respectful manner.

All information provided about the journal, its policies, indexing status, and publication practices is accurate, transparent, and not misleading. The journal does not employ deceptive or intrusive promotional practices.
