Audience

Staff News is delivered to all members of staff at the University of Sydney.
At Sydney is delivered to all currently-enrolled students at the University of Sydney.

Any content published must be relevant to the University experience of either staff or students. Articles may only be submitted by University staff, students or representatives of the University’s student organisations unless permission has been granted by the editorial team.

Note: Due to the large number of student clubs and societies, At Sydney and Staff News are unable to accept submissions from individual groups. Please contact your student organisation (SRC, USU, SUPRA or SUSF) to discuss promotional options for your club and society events and promotions.

When you submit your article using the submission form, please indicate whether you would like to publish your article in only one or both publications. If you are unsure, please select ‘Please advise’ and we will be in contact to discuss your requirements.

Length

Please keep your submission short and no longer than 100 words in length. If your communication needs are more detailed, please include a link to a website that contains more comprehensive information.

Content and Editorial Guidelines

All content must be written in the style of the University’s Editorial Style Guide and not be defamatory, offensive, discriminatory, harm (or likely to harm) the reputation of the University, or breach any laws or University policies.

Editorial approach

Final editing of all materials submitted will be undertaken by the editorial team as required. If time permits, any substantive changes will be sent back to authors for review or revision before the final deadline.

All material submitted must meet the Content and Editorial Guidelines. The editorial team maintains the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse or request revisions to any material submitted for any reason, including failure to meet the Content and Editorial Guidelines. The decision of the editorial team is binding and final and no correspondence will be entered into, including in the event of a dispute, on such matters.

Special note: submissions calling for participation in research projects require written approval from the Ethics Office.
