**LATEST UPDATES ON CORONAVIRUS** If you are interested in The Lancet’s latest publications on COVID-19, please check our Resource Centre daily, and register to receive our press releases (using the form on the right of this page).

Journalists can register for The Lancet’s embargoed press release service, coordinated via our London and New York offices.
Registration to our press release service provides journalists with access to embargoed press releases (approx. 1-3 per week) for selected Lancet articles from across all Lancet journals, including advance access to the articles and any linked commentary.
Articles in The Lancet journals are published online on a daily basis, ahead of subsequent print publication. Our standard embargo time is 6.30pm [US ET] or 23.30 [GMT], which corresponds to the time the article is published online. Occasionally, embargo times may vary.
Subscribers to our embargoed distribution service will receive the press release for a given article a few days ahead of publication, embargoed until the time the paper is published.
To register for our embargoed press release service, please complete the Press Registration form on this page.
In addition to e-mail distribution, all Lancet press releases are posted within the embargoed zone of the EurekAlert and AlphaGalileo media services.
Embargo policy
The Lancet journals operate a strict embargo policy. Journalists are welcome to contact article authors after press release distribution, but must not publish or broadcast before the embargo has lifted.
Journalists are registered to our press release service on the understanding that they agree to abide by our embargoes without exception. If an embargo is broken, we reserve the right to remove embargoed media access to The Lancet journals.
We also ask that, as a condition of receiving Lancet press releases, that the correct Lancet journal be credited as the source of the research. Find out more about our journals.
For press officers/public information officers
Press officers or PIOs working in medical institutions may register to receive Lancet press releases, and must abide by our embargo policy. Please complete the registration form.
If you are enquiring about an upcoming paper, and would like to issue your own press release, please contact The Lancet press office to confirm embargo details at pressoffice@lancet.com. Please ensure you include the manuscript reference number, article title and journal title.
