Research News Online is an e-mail newsletter
published twice a month by the Office of the Vice President for
Research (OVPR). Research News Online
is published on the second and fourth Friday of every month, but
is not published in weeks where the second or fourth Friday falls
on a University holiday.
Guidelines for Submitting Research News
Online Articles
- Scope: All articles should focus on
research policies, procedures, events, or funding opportunities
at the University of Minnesota. Because this is a University-wide
publication, they should also be of interest to as wide an audience
as possible.
- Submission Deadline: Articles must
be submitted by noon on the Wednesday prior to the Friday of publication.
However, earlier submissions are appreciated. If submitters have
alerted the OVPR communications team that an article is forthcoming,
and the submitted article is clean (correct length and format,
and well-written), submissions may be accepted after the deadline.
- Submission Method: Articles must be
submitted electronically using the resnews@umn.edu
address.
- Article Length and Style: Articles
must be brief—ideally they should be comfortably under 100
words, with a maximum of 150 words. The RNO provides a brief overview
of topics, then links to more information on external Web sites.
This format allows faculty/researchers to skim the publication
for the information of interest to them.
- Supporting Documentation: The editorial
staff will include in articles links to information that is available
on the Internet, but will not post documents related to an article.
If an article is submitted along with information to link to,
the editorial staff will return the linked-to information and
request that the sender post it on their server.
For more information, send e-mail inquiries to resnews@umn.edu
or call the Research News Online editor,
Amy Danielson, at (612) 625-1453.
