Blog Submissions and Authorship Policy
Email us your blog submissions and/or ideas to maritimecommons@gmail.com
All blog entries should conform to the blog’s purpose “to provide increased awareness of Coast Guard information released to the public” or “to increase openness and transparency with our constituents as a military, law enforcement and regulatory organization.” Entries should include external links to references to build credibility and clarify information/facts. Entries shall also follow the guidelines set forth in the blog’s comment policy (see the ‘About‘ section).
Blog administrators reserve the right to review post ideas/submissions to determine whether or not they will appear in the blog. Administrators may also edit submissions (not comments) for grammar and SAPP (security, accuracy, policy and propriety) prior to posting. The Coast Guard provides no compensation for submissions published on the blog.
Unless annotated, the person posting the entry is the author. If an entry was authored by someone other than the person posting it, the author’s name(s) will appear at the beginning of the post (“Written by {name}”). Blog administrators may occasionally exercise editorial control over the content, but everyone listed as an author has made a substantial, direct, intellectual contribution to the work and has approved the final version. If a person(s) contributed to an entry through research, data collection, creative idea, and the like, the contributor’s name(s) will appear at the beginning of the post (“{name} contributed to this post”).
All opinions expressed in blog postings are those of the individual authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the U.S. Coast Guard. Blog authors are solely responsible for the material they submit for posting.
