Embargo Policy
All articles appearing in The Journal of Neuroscience are embargoed for release to the public until 5 pm Eastern time on the evening before the publication date. This policy applies to members of the media, authors, local institutions' public information officers and anyone else with access to articles published in the Journal. If you would like to know when an article will be posted online, please send an email inquiry to jn{at}sfn.org at The Journal of Neuroscience.The Society's Public Information Committee and staff regularly review in advance articles published in the Journal for the purposes of issuing news releases. These are usually mailed the week before publication and marked for release to the press on the evening before the publication date. Authors can contact their institution's public information office, which may elect to do a news release or arrange an interview.To be fair to everyone, especially competing publications interested in writing about a particular paper, interviews are permissible before the publication date, but the information can be released only after the embargo is lifted. This applies to public information officers at local institutions, authors and members of the media.
A reporter also may contact an author independent of any media relations effort. As explained above, an author may share the manuscript and speak about it with a reporter as long as both understand that the release date is after the embargo is lifted.
