Healthcare
Journal of Baton Rouge
articles cover topics relevant to the healthcare field in
the greater Baton Rouge area. We are always looking for
interesting content. If you would like to write an article
for the HJBR here are a few suggestions:
The main questions asked when evaluating articles are 1) Did
I find it interesting? 2) Would HJBR
readers find it interesting? 3) Is the author trying to sell
the reader something or blatantly promote a business? (Don't
get us wrong we are great for that, just please contact our
Advertising Department for rates.)
A word on attribution: HJBR articles should
be punctilious about giving credit to all direct quotations,
paraphrased statements and borrowed ideas. In addition,
please tell us about any relationship you may have with
companies cited in the proposed articles. Please include a
short bio and a 300 dpi photo of yourself.
Most HJBR articles undergo editing and
rewriting, and HJBR typically holds
copyright on the finished products. Authors continue to own
the underlying ideas in the article.
Both press releases and original articles are accepted up to
the close date of publication, typically six weeks prior to
issuance. We do, however, recommend submitting well in
advance of close date to insure adequate turn-around time
for questions and follow-up.
