Frequently Asked Questions
I'm a new PIO. How do I hear about new JAMA/Archives studies?
The JAMA/Archives Media Relations Department will contact the press office of the lead author's institution. The EurekAlert! JAMA/Archives PIO page, updated every week, would be the best way to find out if your institution is part of an upcoming study.
What does it mean if information is embargoed?
The embargo means information concerning the study cannot be published, broadcast, posted online, shared with non-journalists, or otherwise placed in the public domain until the time of the embargo.
When are the JAMA/Archives embargoes?
JAMA is published on the first four Wednesdays of each month. All original contributions, editorials, letters, etc., appearing in a particular issue of JAMA are embargoed for release the day before the publication's issue date, on a Tuesday, at 3 p.m. Central time (CT) [4 p.m. ET].
All Archives journals are published once a month, except for the Archives of Internal Medicine, which is published twice a month, and the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, which is published every other month.

Are there ever exceptions to the JAMA/Archives embargo?
The JAMA/Archives embargo is strict and only the JAMA/Archives Media Relations Department is authorized to make changes to a study's embargo time. Contact the department if you have a question concerning an embargo.
When do JAMA/Archives studies appear online?
JAMA/Archives studies are available online to PIOs and journalists the Thursday before the embargo at 3 p.m. (CT) (4 p.m. Eastern Time) at the JAMA/Archives For The Media website. Abstracts of all JAMA/Archives studies are available to the public at the embargo time at http://pubs.ama-assn.org.
Am I allowed to post a news release on my website?
Embargoed news releases may be posted only to restricted-access websites for journalists. Do not post embargoed news releases to open-access sites. JAMA/Archives studies can not be posted on another website, but it is permissible to provide a link to the studies from another website.
How is JAMA/Archives promoting my researcher's paper?
Because of the number of studies published every week in the JAMA/Archives journals, it is not possible to produce a news release for each study. Several studies are selected each week for news releases and distributed to journalists and PIOs. The lead author's institution's press office will be contacted if a news release is being distributed concerning that study.
Can I distribute my researcher's JAMA/Archives study to reporters?
It is requested that only final versions of a study be distributed to journalists, no more than a week before the embargo, with the embargo information included. Journalists can also be directed to the JAMA/Archives Media Relations department and/or the For The Media website for the study.
What are the guidelines concerning writing and distributing our own news releases on JAMA/Archives studies?
Any news release or media advisory should the have the study's embargo time, date, and time zone at the top of the release or advisory, and cite which journal the study appears in. Embargoed news releases should only be distributed to journalists. Embargoed information cannot be posted to openly accessible web sites; routed to electronic wire services such as PRNewswire, Ascribe, or BusinessWire; or otherwise placed in the public domain. (These and other open-access services may be used as soon as the embargo lifts, as desired.)
