The ASPH Friday Letter invites article submissions from faculty, students and staff of ASPH-member schools and affiliates of ASPH-partner organizations. Please send all submissions as an E-mail attachment or as text in the body of an E-mail to submissions@asph.org. Below are some general guidelines that may be helpful to follow when submitting an article:
- Articles should be written in the third person and should be a couple paragraphs or 1-page maximum in length.
- All persons mentioned in the Friday Letter will be referred to as Dr., Mr., Ms., etc. This is to alleviate the possibility of leaving out credentials. The responsibility of providing the correct title falls to the author of the article. When referring to someone who is both a doctor and a member of the military, please use their military title.
- Always include a link to a press release, web site or other resource for more information if available.
- Try to minimize opinion and emotion in the language of the article.
- Photos and images that accompany articles are highly encouraged. Images should be sent as a high-res .JPG or .GIF attachment and include captions. (Submissions for the Friday Letter Photo-of-the-Month are also encouraged. Please click here for more information.)
- Be sure to indicate that you are submitting an article in the E-mail subject line.
Articles must be received by Wednesday at 12 p.m. (Eastern) in order to appear in that week's issue. Friday Letter staff make every effort to publish contributions the week they arrive. (Note: ASPH follows the Federal work schedule. If the office is closed on a Friday, the newsletter will be sent the business day before. ASPH is closed each Friday after Thanksgiving; the Thanksgiving issue is published on the Wednesday of that week.)
