Comments on: business journalists’ use of social media http://www.kayesweetser.com/archives/179 This used to be a metablog, a blog about blogs. Now it is just a blog by me: Kaye D. Sweetser, Ph.D., APR. It's a blog on social media, research, teaching, Navy, life. It's all fair game for mass communicating.

I wrote a blog post earlier this year about sharing a study's results online prior to the study being published. I found that summarizing what a study says seems to be okay for the Journal of Public Relations Research, the International Journal of Strategic Communication, and Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly. For details, see my blog post here: http://tiny.cc/QCNWr When I was conducting research for the blog post, I did not receive a response to my e-mail to Public Relations Review about its policies. I imagine that these journals' copyright policies would prevent people from republishing pdf copies of journal articles, which is why I was excited to see this blog post with Kaye's article attached. Perhaps it is a sign of changing policies? Of course PRSA's PR Journal is open access (a great service). Also, the Journal of Electronic Communication permits authors to share copies of their studies after publication with acknowledgment "for non-profit personal and scholarly purposes," which I would like to interpret as including free online distribution.

Let me know if you need help with tracking down that info, I'll be happy to help.

Does the pdf you attached to your blog mean that it is acceptable for anyone to share journal articles published in Public Relations Review through a blog? Did you get blanket permission from Public Relations Review to republish all articles by you online, or was this a one-time approval? I'd like to be able to share my work online too, and I'd also like to encourage other scholars to do so who have published in Public Relations Review if we have approval.
