Embargo Policies and Media Guidelines
Journal ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½®
ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Full Issues: Full issues of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ are officially published during the first week of each month. Articles and supplements in each monthly edition that do not appear in the Online First section are embargoed until they are published in a numbered issue or supplement issue of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, unless otherwise specified. For an issue release date, contact media@chestnet.org.
ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Online First: ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ publishes Original Research and select articles in its Online First section. These papers represent the raw, unedited, accepted manuscripts. Final versions will appear in a numbered issue. The media embargo for these articles is lifted at the date of publication in the Online First section at 12:01 am CT, though readers are encouraged to check back to view the final article in the regular issue of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, as substantive changes may occur.
ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Annual Meeting
The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Annual Meeting will take place October 18 to 21 in Phoenix. Press are welcomed to register to attend.
Embargo policy
All scientific information presented at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ 2026, including abstracts, posters, case reports, and special presentations, is embargoed until 12:01 am CT on Monday, October 12, 2026, unless otherwise noted. A link to embargoed copies of press releases and a complete press kit will be emailed to all approved media representatives.
ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Annual Meeting abstracts will be published on the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ website ahead of the meeting.
Interview requests
Contact ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Media Relations at media@chestnet.org to discuss interview opportunities.
In some cases, a scientist presenting data that are soon to be published may be unable to provide additional information because of constraints imposed by the publisher. In these instances, ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ will help identify and arrange interviews with independent experts on the subject whenever possible.
Reproduction of images, graphs, and other visual representations
Content presented during the meeting is strictly copyrighted, and use of imagery or visual representations of data, audio, and video recording is strictly prohibited without the written consent of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½. Failure to get permission and provide evidence of this, and failure to provide accurate accreditation, will result in a breach of copyright.
Recording, filming, and screenshots
ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ retains exclusive rights to all media capture. Videotaping, recording, or screen capture of any educational session, data, demonstration, roundtable, or any aspect of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ 2026 educational program is limited to news reporting purposes only. This would include, but is not limited to, recorded segments of a presentation for the purpose of b-roll footage.
Social media
ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ permits and encourages the use of social media, such as Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Bluesky, and blogging, as a way to summarize, highlight, excerpt, review, critique, and/or promote the presented materials, the content expert, or the conference in general, provided that:
- the material is not shared in full, and
- the author or speaker is referenced and cited appropriately in each case.
Please keep in mind that our presenters have invested many hours in the development of this material, and copyright laws apply.
We encourage media participants to follow, mention, and share with ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ on:
