Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I contact you about a peer-reviewed article?
-
Contact our office at time of acceptance (don’t wait until days before publication).
- Who will update my directory listing or area of the website for which I am responsible?
-
Every department has a main point of contact for website updates. If not shared or known inside your unit, contact our office to get connected with the person with whom you should work.
- What should I do if I get a request to speak to a member of the media?(Requests can come two ways: direct from a journalist or funneled through our office.)
-
Timelines of members of the media are very fast—often day of or within days. Please be accommodating and understanding, as external dissemination can help your work in a variety of ways. This can include a gracious decline, which can help long term relationships. Contact our office for tips, training, and support.
