JCEMS maintains a robust social media platform to promote content. Published content will receive widespread recognition via posts on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. By submitting to JCEMS, authors declare that JCEMS may post your article or other content on social media platforms including, but not limited to, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. If an author does not wish for their published article or other content to be publicized or posted on any of our social media accounts, an author should contact our Editors at JCEMS@CollegeEMS.com. We will always respect the wishes of our authors to refrain from posting articles on our social media platforms.

We strongly encourage authors to widely disseminate their work, provided JCEMS and the authors are appropriately recognized. We encourage authors to post their articles and notices of publication in JCEMS on social media platforms, institutional websites, and news sources. We also encourage authors to share their work with the collegiate EMS community, their professional network, colleagues, and friends. We welcome questions from authors regarding best practices in publicizing their work.
