Conditions of the PLOS embargo policy

Stories or reports on accepted PLOS articles may not be published, broadcast, posted online or on social media or placed in the public domain before the embargo date and time. Precise embargo dates and times will be clearly marked on all embargoed materials.

Embargoed materials are for background research only. Journalists may share embargoed materials only with experts in the field to seek comment, but such materials must be clearly identified as embargoed and must include the embargo date and time. Journalists are responsible for taking all necessary steps to ensure that third parties honor the embargo.

Press officers may not distribute embargoed materials in the public domain before the embargo date. However, embargoed materials may be distributed to the media by press officers up to seven days before the embargo date. Press releases must be clearly identified as embargoed and must include the embargo date and time. Press officers are responsible for taking all necessary steps to ensure that third parties honor the embargo.

PLOS will provide advance notice of press-released articles to members of its press list up to seven days ahead of publication. Distribution and use of all advance materials are subject to the PLOS embargo policy. Please note that PLOS does not grant exclusives to journalists or news outlets, and neither may authors or press officers unilaterally grant exclusives.

Individuals who break the embargo policy will be removed from PLOS’ press list for a period to be determined by PLOS.
