Announcements Editorial Policy

All announcements made on H-Net must meet the following important qualifications and conditions:

1. Although H-Net makes reasonable efforts to screen postings that it publishes, it assumes no liability for the content of announcements published at the H-Net Announcements service. Questions about specific postings should be submitted directly to the author of the announcement. All postings are subject to H-Net's policies regarding discrimination and suitability to H-Net's mission. H-Net reserves the right to decline to publish a posting for any reason.
2. Submissions made to the online Announcements System are automatically sent to H-Announce; Any announcment made over H-Announce will also be archived on the website, therefore it is necessary to post your announcement using only one of these distribution methods.
3. H-Net reserves the right to edit extremely long announcements for clarity and concision, and to ask for changes and clarifications. H-Net will post reminders and re-posts of announcements, but asks that the authors of these messages time their submissions carefully to make the most effective use of our service.
4. Announcements of new web sites or internet resources are welcome, and are most likely to be posted when their noncommercial, academic, scholarly, or educational content is self-evident from the announcement and at the site.
5. H-Net does not guarantee posting of Announcements: time differences, variations in the rotations of duty editors, and the vagaries of the internet mail routing system can cause delays in postings.
6. H-ANNOUNCE is not a job-posting service. Notices of professional position openings should be directed to the H-Net Job Guide. Exceptions: internships, fellowships, or awards that are short-term, in-residence, or focused on a particular research program, archive, data collection, program of study, or professional activity (such as a teaching fellowship) may be posted here at the discretion of the H-ANNOUNCE editor.
7. Publishers interested in promoting new works should contact the H-Net Reviews Office, to arrange for reviews of such works. On occasion, editors post lists of new books or recent publications; but they do not send out bookjacket blurbs, endorsements, or similar promotional literature about publications.
