Sponsorship and Advertising Policy

The Journal of Surgery and Medicine (JOSAM) strictly maintains editorial independence and academic integrity across all publishing operations:

• No Commercial Advertising: JOSAM does not accept commercial advertising or product promotions in any form on its website or in its published articles. No pharmaceutical products, surgical devices, or commercial services are promoted.
• Editorial Independence: The journal does not accept financial sponsorship from commercial or corporate entities that could create perceived or actual conflicts of interest or influence editorial decision-making. Acceptance and publication of scientific manuscripts are based solely on scientific validity, peer review, and academic merit.
• Academic Announcements: JOSAM may, at the sole discretion of the Editorial Board, post announcements on its website regarding non-profit medical conferences, educational symposia, or scientific meetings that align with the journal's aims and scope.

All operational and publishing expenses are fully covered by the publisher, SelSistem Publishing, ensuring complete editorial autonomy in accordance with the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
