EurekAlert! does not accept submissions concerning faculty appointments or administrative reports. AAAS has final authority over EurekAlert! content and screens all submissions for suitability. AAAS does not edit material posted to the system. Individual providers are responsible for the material they submit.

²EurekAlert! will take reasonable steps to maintain the security of this area and to make embargoed materials available only to reporters who have registered with EurekAlert! for access to such materials, but will not be responsible for breaches of such security or embargoes by reporters or others. Should EurekAlert! become aware of any actions that compromise the site's security or editorial integrity, EurekAlert! reserves the right to revoke posting privileges and/or access to the site and retain all fees paid in exchange for use of the site.

• Ability to include background information, contact details, multi-media resources, and other information about each expert you post
• Access to on-line forms which allow you to easily manage and update your experts' profiles on-line

EurekAlert! screens all submissions to the Experts Database, and has the authority to exclude experts who do not meet eligibility requirements. Requirements include, but are not limited to, recognition as a national or international expert; publication of seminal work in a particular field; performance of research which is frequently cited by other experts; and recent publication in a professional journal.

EurekAlert! may organize, categorize, index, display, transmit, and cause the retrieval of your materials as it chooses, but will not change the content of your submissions. EurekAlert! may also use and authorize the use of your institution's name and submitted materials through the EurekAlert! Web site and in related print and on-line materials.

Institutions that provide material to EurekAlert! assume sole responsibility for the content and agree to indemnify EurekAlert! for any damage or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from submitted material that is claimed to infringe copyrights, to be defamatory, or to violate privacy or other rights of any person or entity.
