Media Relations

At Global Journals®, our media relations policy ensures that research findings are communicated accurately, fairly, and ethically to the public. This supports transparency, enhances impact, and maintains trust among authors, readers, and the media.

  • Embargo Policy & Timing of Media Communication
  • For particularly newsworthy articles or special collections, the journal may issue press releases summarizing key findings, background, and significance.
  • Press releases are distributed to registered journalists, media outlets, and institutional press offices.
  • Authors and their institutions may propose promotion efforts, but any public communication must adhere to the journal’s embargo and media policy.
  • Journal editors and press teams coordinate with authors to ensure factual accuracy, balance, and clarity in media materials.
  • Embargo Policy & Timing of Media Communication
  • Media outreach may be conducted in advance of publication under strict embargo conditions, meaning information is shared early with the media under agreement not to publish until a specified date/time.
  • Authors are allowed to interact with media only after the publication date is confirmed and strictly in line with the journal’s embargo schedule.
  • Strict violation of embargo terms may lead to removal from media mailing lists or other sanctions.
  • Coordination & Media Requests
  • All media requests, interviews, coverage, statements, should be coordinated via the journal’s press office or communications team to preserve consistency and accuracy.
  • Authors requested by media should consult with the press office before responding and share guidance about the coverage.
  • Under no circumstances should unpublished manuscripts or peer review reports be shared with media before publication.
  • The journal reserves the right to decline or postpone media engagement if it would compromise confidentiality or integrity.
  • Author Guidance & Responsibilities
  • Authors should avoid publicly discussing their work with media before publication unless cleared under embargo rules.
  • Authors must decline requests for media coverage that violate the journal’s confidentiality or editorial policies.
  • If media coverage is planned (e.g. via the author’s institution), the author should inform the journal and align timing with the official publication.
  • Authors are encouraged to provide simplified summaries or lay abstracts to assist reporters in understanding complex topics.
  • Transparency & Fair Access
  • The journal aims to provide fair, equal access to media outlets by releasing embargoed information at the same time and under the same terms to journalists.
  • Journal press materials should include the full paper, author contacts, graphics or visuals, and any supplementary materials journalists may require.
  • The press release’s content and timing should be transparent and consistent with editorial decisions.

Your tweets can be restricted to a select audience or made available worldwide, both options ensure greater visibility.

  • CiteULike (and similar platforms) allow you to store, organize, and share research articles. These services automatically extract citation details and serve as a personal library accessible anywhere with an internet connection.

Join Methodspace

  • Methodspace provides a platform where researchers can exchange ideas, discuss methodologies, and overcome challenges. Participation here not only increases visibility but also enhances credibility among peers.

Join LinkedIn

  • With over 200 million professionals worldwide, LinkedIn is one of the largest academic and professional networks. By creating a strong profile, researchers can connect with colleagues, institutions, and global audiences, boosting recognition of their work.

Join Facebook

  • Facebook remains one of the most widely used platforms. Authors can create groups, pages, or communities around their research, interact with colleagues, and share updates with a wide range of audiences, both academic and non-academic.

Start Blogging

  • A blog allows authors to share extended thoughts and link directly to their research. You may include Details of upcoming lectures, meetings, or seminars. Inspiring questions asked during conferences and your responses. Opinions on recent developments or media coverage in your field. Feedback and suggestions from the wider research community. Blogs are often indexed by search engines like Google Scholar, making your work easily discoverable.
