Before you publicize

First steps

As soon as your paper has been accepted, reach out to the PLOS Media Team at press@plos.org to inform us of your promotion plans and to inquire about your publication date. We’ll aim to assign your paper a publication date with advance notice and give you time to prepare press materials.

Institutional support

We recommend copying your press office into your communication with the PLOS Media Team. We are happy to provide your press office with advance press copies of your article, as well as publication date and embargo information.
