Submission form: popular science communication about a new paper

To decide what communication efforts may be appropriate, the Press Office requires some information about your publication. Think about the main message of your findings, why this is of news value and which target groups may be interested in your research. The information is sent to KI’s Press Office and may, if appropriate, be shared with the main web editor in your department. The answers you provide may be used as the basis for quotes in a potential news article.

Before you fill out the form, please review the selection criteria used by the Press Office for centrally-produced news and press releases about scientific articles which include, in short: 

  • The findings are comprehensible and relevant for one or more lay target groups. The paper should preferably not be published yet.
  • A KI researcher is the corresponding author or, for example, the Swedish coordinator of a large international collaboration.
  • The paper contains original results that have been accepted by a peer-reviewed journal (this includes metastudies, but excludes conference abstracts, reviews, reports and papers published on preprint servers).
  • The journal is highly ranked in, for example, the Karolinska Institutet Journal List (KI-JL)

The same information is also available for news releases about doctoral theses.

For doctoral dissertations, please link to the dissertation in KI Open Archive
The article will be stored in KI’s internal web content management system but will not be published anywhere. We will respect the embargo. You can also send it by email to pressinfo@ki.se.
