The Embargo Policy

Excellence in Nutrition Research and Practice

Manuscripts published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and The Journal of Nutrition are embargoed until the article appears online either as in press (Articles in Press) or as a final version. For information on when an article will appear online, please contact the ASN Publications Department by e-mailing publications@nutrition.org. Embargoed information is not to be made public in any format including print, television, radio, or via internet, before the embargo date.

Authors with papers in production may speak with the press about their work, provided reporters understand and agree to the ASN embargo policy.

Authors should not participate in news conferences until the day of publication.

Authors can present results reported in forthcoming papers to colleagues at professional meetings. Authors may provide copies of their own accepted manuscript or copies of sections of the manuscript to colleagues at professional meetings provided the copies include the following disclaimer:

This is a pre-publication, unedited version of a manuscript accepted for publication in (name of journal). It is not the final, authenticated version of the manuscript and may differ in content and format form the final published version. It is provided for individual use only and may not be distributed further in any manner or form.
Because all accepted manuscripts are embargoed as noted above, we ask that authors not give copies of the paper, data, overheads or slides to reporters.

ASN reserves the right to halt the consideration or publication of a paper if this condition is broken.
