Advertising Policy

Telehealth and Medicine Today (THMT) peer review evidence based articles are in no way influenced by advertisers or advertisements in any form. The journal’s business model includes advertising to generate revenue to enhance the quality, services, and educational materials, and platforms it brings to, and shares with, the sector.

Types of Advertising that will be accepted and displayed on THMT will be determined at the discretion of the publisher, Tory Cenaj. Under no circumstances will THMT’s Advertisement(s) be considered an endorsement of the product(s) and/or service(s) advertised, or for the company that creates, manufactures, distributes, or promotes the products or services.

THMT will not accept Advertising that, in THMT’s opinion, is not factually accurate and in good taste and reserves the right to determine such.
THMT will not consider these categories for advertising:

Illegal, fraudulent, deceptive, illicit, misleading or offensive material and products
material that misrepresents (real or implied) or attacks an individual or group
alcohol, weapons, firearms, ammunition, or tobacco
the simulation of news or an emergency
advertising that extends beyond the defined advertising space or interferes with the content or impact the readability of the content
advertising that does not retract to the defined advertising space upon user scroll off or contain a "close" or "X" for user to retract or close the ad unit/message after user initiation

Advertisers must only offer products or services, and clearly identify the advertiser.
THMT recognizes and maintains a distinct separation between advertising, sponsored content, and editorial content. All Advertising, promotional, sponsored content on THMT will be clearly identified as such.
A click on an Advertisement may only link the end user to the third-party advertiser's site.
Sponsored Content on the THMT is governed by the Sponsored Content Policy.
Advertising on THMT may not link directly to a registration/email capture page. Any user registration or email capture pages resulting from an ad click must be, at minimum, two clicks away from the original Advertisement. THMT will not run Advertising that requires registration and/or log-in in order to view a significant portion of the content of the Advertising or the related site. THMT reserves the right to determine what level is 'significant'.
THMT reserves the right to reject, cancel, or remove at any time any Advertising from THMT for any reason and will provide prompt notice to the advertiser upon rejection, cancellation, or removal of any Advertising, together with an explanation following the rejection, cancellation, or removal. THMT also reserves the right to determine the appropriate placement of the Advertising on the THMT site.
It is the Advertiser's responsibility to comply with all applicable laws, including applicable laws and regulations of regulatory bodies. This includes pharmaceutical advertising to physicians that must comply with FDA guidelines for Direct to Physician (DTP) and advertising. THMT will not monitor compliance with applicable laws and regulations. THMT reserves the right to review all Advertising for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and, if THMT becomes aware of any breach or potential breach of any applicable law, regulation, or guidelines, THMT may remove the Advertising.
No Advertising on THMT shall include any pixels, tags, flash containers or any other type of information collection software code or shall place any beacons, cookies or other information collection devices on the browsers.
No Advertising will be allowed on THMT that could injure the good name or reputation of THMT.
THMT is not responsible for any errors contained or identified in Advertising.
. In consideration of publication of an ad, the advertiser and the agency, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless publisher, its officers, agents and employees against expenses (including legal fees) and losses resulting from the publication of the contents of the ad, including, without limitation, claims or suits for libel, violation of privacy, copyright infringement or plagiarism.

Sponsored Content

THMT does not allow paid content that resembles editorial content in style, intent and format. While THMT welcomes such advertisements, we will publish no advertisement that, in the judgment of the publisher, resembles our editorial content enough to be mistaken for a THMT article.

Separate from Editorial Content, layout, artwork, and format of Sponsored Content will be easily distinguished from editorial content and avoid any confusion with the editorial content of THMT.

Advertorial Guidelines

Guidelines are written to ensure a clear delineation between advertising material and editorial text for our readers, and to facilitate the approval process for advertising in THMT.

All advertorials must be clearly and immediately recognizable as advertisements.

All advertorials are subject to approval.

Single-Page Ad

For a single-page ad, the company name/logo must appear prominently at the top of the ad page. If for branding purposes the logo appears elsewhere in the ad, then the word “ADVERTISEMENT” must appear in the top center of the page in all caps, using a minimum font size of 14 points.

Two-Page Spread Ad

For a two-page spread, the word “ADVERTISEMENT” is required on the top center of the left-hand page, using a minimum font size of 14 points. For the right hand page of the spread, the company name/logo must appear prominently in the upper-right corner. If for branding purposes the logo appears elsewhere in the ad, you have the option of moving or repeating the company logo in the upper-right-hand corner, or adding the word “ADVERTISEMENT” in the top center of this page.

For clarity purposes, a two-page spread will require the word “ADVERTISEMENT” on
BOTH pages if the company name/logo does not appear in the upper-right-hand corner of the right page.

Please contact the publisher for any questions concerning these guidelines.
