Language Teaching Research Quarterly (LTRQ) does not accept, publish, or display advertisements. The journal is committed to maintaining editorial independence, scholarly integrity, transparency, and public trust. No commercial advertising or advertising revenue forms part of the journal's publishing model.

 

No Advertising

LTRQ does not accept advertisements for commercial products, services, organizations, events, publications, or other promotional activities on its website, within its published articles, or through its regular journal communication channels.

 

The journal does not sell advertising space and does not permit third parties to purchase or otherwise obtain promotional placement in connection with the journal's editorial content.

 

Editorial Independence

LTRQ's editorial decisions are based exclusively on scholarly and editorial considerations. Advertising, commercial interests, financial relationships, or promotional considerations do not influence:

• manuscript submission or consideration;
• editorial screening;
• reviewer selection;
• peer review;
• decisions to accept, revise, or reject manuscripts;
• publication scheduling;
• editorial appointments;
• corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions; or
• any other editorial or publication decision.

No author, reviewer, editor, institution, organization, sponsor, or external party may obtain preferential editorial treatment through a commercial or promotional relationship with LTRQ or its publisher.

 

Sponsored and Promotional Content

LTRQ does not publish sponsored editorial content, paid promotional articles, advertorials, or commercially sponsored scholarly material presented as part of the journal's regular editorial content.

The journal may disseminate legitimate scholarly announcements or information relevant to its academic community when appropriate; however, such communication must not be presented as advertising or used to provide paid promotional exposure.

 

Commercial Influence and Conflicts of Interest

The absence of advertising does not remove the need to identify and manage other potential conflicts of interest. Editors, reviewers, and authors are required to disclose relevant competing interests in accordance with LTRQ's publication-ethics and conflicts-of-interest policies.

Commercial or institutional affiliations must not compromise the objectivity, independence, or integrity of the journal's editorial processes.

 

Website and Third-Party Content

LTRQ does not accept payment from third parties in exchange for links, promotional placement, endorsements, or preferential visibility on the journal's website.

 

Links to external organizations, academic resources, repositories, indexing services, scholarly platforms, or other websites may be provided where they serve a legitimate academic, informational, or operational purpose. The inclusion of such a link does not constitute an advertisement, endorsement, or commercial partnership unless explicitly stated.

 

LTRQ is not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of external websites to which it may provide links.

 

Commitment to Scholarly Integrity

LTRQ's publishing activities are conducted independently of advertising and commercial promotional considerations. The journal's editorial decisions and published scholarly content are not influenced by the financial interests of advertisers, sponsors, commercial organizations, or other external parties.

This policy is intended to protect the independence of the editorial process and to ensure that authors, reviewers, editors, and readers can rely on LTRQ's scholarly content being evaluated and published on academic and ethical grounds.

 

Policy Review

LTRQ may periodically review this policy to ensure that it remains consistent with recognized standards of responsible scholarly publishing and with the journal's actual publishing practices. Any substantive change to the journal's advertising status or policy will be clearly communicated on the journal's website.
