Procurement Professor

Funding and commercial disclosures

How Procurement Professor identifies sponsorships, affiliate relationships, supplied data, vendor involvement, and material conflicts.

Current disclosure

No page currently published on Procurement Professor is presented as sponsored content, and the publication currently identifies no affiliate relationship affecting its editorial links.

What must be disclosed?

Any sponsorship, paid placement, affiliate compensation, supplied research, free product or service, data relationship, event partnership, or other material commercial connection that could reasonably affect how a reader interprets a page must be disclosed clearly on that page. The disclosure should identify the relationship in plain language rather than relying on an ambiguous label.

How are commercial links treated?

A normal source citation or editorial link does not imply a commercial relationship. If compensation or another commercial benefit is connected to a link, the relationship must be disclosed and the link must receive the appropriate sponsored treatment. Procurement Professor does not treat payment as evidence of product quality or editorial merit.

What about vendors and job listings?

Vendors may appear because their product, disclosure, research, or market activity is relevant to the coverage. Inclusion is not endorsement. The United States job board collects public listings from employer career feeds and Jobicy; it does not accept candidate applications and does not claim that an employer has endorsed the publication.

What about outside contributors?

Named contributors and interview participants must disclose relevant employers, clients, investments, memberships, or other relationships connected to the topic. Their presence does not transfer their organization’s endorsement to Procurement Professor. More detail appears in the contributor guidelines.

How are disclosures corrected?

A missing or inaccurate material disclosure should be reported through the corrections process. The editor will evaluate the relationship, update the affected page when necessary, and record a meaning-changing correction in the page history.
