Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 21   EBP 3035 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Embargo

Captions available

The idea

An embargo is an agreement that a finding will not be reported before an agreed date and time, so that publication and coverage are coordinated.

In practice

A journal releasing a paper to reporters a week early, on the condition nothing appears before the publication date.

Where people slip

Breaking an embargo damages the relationship for everyone involved, and both journals and reporters keep track.
