All copy is subject to publisher's approval. The publisher reserves the right to deny any advertisement if artwork or content is deemed inappropriate.
Deadlines
Deadlines are published on the individual advertising pages for each journal. Print deadlines fall on the 15th of the month and online deadlines on the 20th of the month. We will attempt to send out reminders prior to the deadline, but it is the responsibility of the advertiser to provide artwork by the published deadline. Late ads will be subject to a fee of $25 per page/online ad.
