New Science Journalism Project Guidelines

What we are trying to achieve here at the NSJ Project is a space for wholesome and professional science journalism skills development. We don't want, nor do we expect, abuse of this Project. The idea is to provide students worldwide, who are interested in science journalism and science communication, a professional outlet for their work. By providing this space we expect users to be responsible for their contributed content. Readers and visitors to the NSJ website will expect that the content is valid and of news value.

At the end of they day we would like that you treat the NSJ Project as your own work in progress. Develop your science journalism and news skills, refine your research, harness the opportunity to gain global reach, take the opportunity to make a difference, learn from your peers, consider what other students of science communication are thinking about around the world.

What we expect in return is trust and respect when you submit your work on the NSJ Project.

There are some golden rules that go with reporting all news.
No Plagiarism.

No Advertorials.
Read your relevant Journalism Code of Ethics.
