Revenue sources

IJDCR is funded primarily through:

• Article Processing Charges (APCs)
• Institutional or organisational publishing support (where applicable)

No revenue source influences editorial decisions.

Advertising policy

• IJDCR does not accept commercial or third-party advertisements.
• The journal does not publish sponsored content.

This policy ensures editorial independence and avoids conflicts of interest.

Marketing practices

All marketing and outreach activities:

• Accurately describe the journal’s scope, policies, and indexing status
• Avoid misleading claims about impact metrics or database inclusion
• Use official communication channels only

Unsolicited or deceptive manuscript solicitation practices are not permitted.
