EurekAlert! is proud to be Stempra’s Lead Professional Development Partner, supporting the annual Stempra Communications Training Day and ongoing professional learning for science communication professionals.

Operated by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), EurekAlert! is an editorially independent, nonprofit news-release distribution platform. Wired has called EurekAlert! “the news hub that shapes the science you read.”

Proven Impact on Media Coverage

Independent research shows that distributing news through EurekAlert! significantly increases media visibility.

According to a recent Science Advances study analyzing more than 1,000 archaeology papers, studies with news releases on EurekAlert! were:

4x more likely to receive U.S. media coverage than those without a EurekAlert! news release

70% of papers with a EurekAlert! press release received media coverage

Compared with just 22% of papers without a EurekAlert! press release

About EurekAlert!

Established in 1996, EurekAlert! is a trusted, free resource for working journalists covering all areas of science, health, and technology. The platform provides access to embargoed press packages from many of the world’s leading scientific publishers, including:

  • The Science family of journals
  • PNAS, JAMA, The Lancet, The BMJ
  • American Chemical Society, ASBMB, Cell Press, and more

EurekAlert! publishes an average of 150 science news releases every day, many available first under embargo to accredited journalist-members to support accurate, timely, independent reporting. All content must meet EurekAlert!’s eligibility guidelines and is made publicly available after embargo, if applicable.

Today, four out of five of the world’s top-ranked universities entrust EurekAlert! with distributing their science-related news.
