Useful information
Describe the event, organization, date and public supporting records. A concise factual account is more useful than a promotional statement. Explain your connection to the matter and any commercial interest.
Protect confidential information
The journal does not currently provide an encrypted whistleblower portal or promise anonymity. Do not submit credentials, financial account details or confidential documents through ordinary email. A mailbox address is not a secure reporting system.
Publication decisions
A tip is not a promise of publication, compensation or confidentiality. Public-source checks and editorial judgment determine whether information can be used. The contact page lists the publication’s departments.
Evidence, attribution and rights
Identify which facts are established and which are allegations or questions. State your connection, authority to speak and any commercial interest. Public records are preferable to confidential attachments.
Receipt does not give the journal unrestricted rights to publish a private document. Proposed quotation, attribution or restrictions must be resolved for the intended use. Use Corrections for an existing article error and commercial departments for promotional proposals.
