Conditions of the
Syllaba Press International Inc.
Embargo Policy
Stories or
reports on accepted Syllaba Press
International Inc. articles may not
be published, broadcast, posted
online, or on social media or placed
in the public domain before the
embargo date and time. Precise
embargo dates and times will be
clearly marked on all embargoed
materials.
Embargoed materials are for
background research only.
Journalists may share embargoed
materials only with experts in the
field to seek comment, but such
materials must be clearly identified
as embargoed and must include the

are responsible for taking all
necessary steps to ensure that third
parties honor the embargo.

embargoed materials in the public
domain before the embargo date.

distributed to the media by press
officers up to one week before the

that all third parties honor the
embargo.

will provide advance notice of
press-released articles to members
of its press list up to seven days
ahead of publication. Distribution
and use of all advance materials are
subject to the Syllaba Press
International Inc. embargo policy.

policy will be removed from Syllaba

Policy for
Preprints
Syllaba
Press International Inc. does not
embargo work that has been made
available as a PrePrint. Conclusions
presented in a preprint may change
as a result of peer review and
journalists should make this clear
in their reporting, particularly
when covering research with
implications for public health or
other sensitive topics.
A Note to
Scientists
The
embargo policy does not prevent you
and your coauthors from discussing
your work with colleagues (for
example, in a presentation at a
conference), in fact, you’re
encouraged to do so!
Prior publicity in the media will
not affect decisions to publish work
in a Syllaba Press International
Inc. journal. However, ensuring that
media coverage of your research does
not appear until the final article
is publicly available will help you
achieve maximum visibility for your
work.
if you’re discussing unpublished
research with the media (including
PrePrints), make sure that the
report does not come out ahead of
publication. These guidelines will
help your final, peer-reviewed
article reach the broadest audience
when it becomes available to see,
cite, and share with readers. |
