1. Journals of Samara University and it's Publisher (Samara University) generate revenue from advertising, which creates a potential conflict of interest. Editors’ decisions do not depend on the cost of advertising or producing reprints. Advertisers and sponsors have no influence over the editor’s decisions, regardless of the terms of advertising or other agreements.
2. All advertisements are subject to the approval of the Samara university journals editorial teams and Samara university's staff, which reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement at any time.
3. The functions of Samara university journals' editors and Samara university's advertising managers are separate.
4. In the Samara university journals professional (researchers-directed) publications and web sites, the intentional placement of advertising adjacent to articles discussing the company or product that is the subject of the advertisement is prohibited. Advertising content must be distinguished from editorial and other materials so that the difference between them is obvious.
5. Samara university journals will not publish “advertorial” content, and sponsored supplements must be clearly indicated as such. If a supplement did not undergo peer review or underwent a peer review-process different from the rest of the journal that should be explicitly stated.
6. The Samara university journals editorial teams have the right to refuse any advertisement that, in its sole discretion, is incompatible with its mission or inconsistent with the values of members, the publication/web site or the organization as a whole, and to stop accepting any advertisement previously accepted. Advertisements are subject to review by the editors of the Samara university journals and Publisher's stuff. In no case shall separate agreements with Samara university or its subsidiaries supersede this policy.
7. Once an advertisement has been deployed online, it will be withdrawn from the journal site at any time if the Editor(s)-in-Chief or Samara university's staff request its removal.
8. Advertising for the following categories is prohibited:
   
   • Alcohol
   • Tobacco
   • Weapons, firearms, ammunition
   • Fireworks

   • Advertisements that claim to have a “miracle” cure or method
   • Advertisements that make unsubstantiated health claims for the products advertised
   • Advertisements directed at children
9. Advertisements may not be deceptive or misleading, and must be verifiable. Advertisements should clearly identify the advertiser and the product or service being offered. Exaggerated or extravagantly worded copy will not be allowed. Advertisements will not be accepted if they appear to be indecent or offensive in either text or artwork, or if they relate to content of a personal, racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, or religious nature.
10. All advertisements are accepted and published in Samara university journals on the warranty of the advertisement agency and advertiser that both are authorized to publish the entire contents and subject matter of the advertisement.
11. In consideration of publication of an advertisement, the advertiser and the advertisement agency, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless Samara university, its officers, agents and employees against expenses (including legal fees) and losses resulting from the publication of the contents of the advertisement, including, without limitation, claims or suits for libel, violation of privacy, copyright infringement, or plagiarism.

13. While Samara university journals welcomes and encourages information-rich advertising, advertisements, advertising icons and advertiser logos must be clearly distinguishable from editorial content and may require special labeling to distinguish them as such. All advertisements must clearly and prominently identify the advertiser by trademark or signature.
14. Reprints should be published only in the form in which they were originally published in the journal (including subsequent corrections), so there should be no additions or changes in them.
15. Samara university is not responsible for incidental or consequential damage for errors in displaying or printing an advertisement.
16. Advertisements may not imply endorsement by the Samara university or its publications/web site except as may be provided for under a separate agreement — in which case advertising must be pre-approved to ensure adherence to the letter and spirit of that separate agreement.
17. The full rules for any market research or promotion associated with an advertisement must be displayed in the advertisement or available via a prominent link.
18. The following online advertising formats are prohibited:
