Editing Policy

CCI editors make changes to articles (including headlines) to ensure articles maintain accuracy, readability and engagement for readers. We do not run these changes by authors before publication. If an editor has made a mistake or misrepresentation, authors are encouraged to flag these and request changes.

Authors

CCI accepts queries or completed manuscripts from GRC professionals, researchers, academics, consultants, attorneys, public officials, SMEs, etc.

Our editorial staff works closely with contributors to develop topic ideas and prepare submission for publication. This could include brainstorming ideas, suggesting changes to a submission or collaborating with an author who seeks to achieve a certain tone or style as a writer.

We prefer to develop long-term, ongoing commitments from authors (3-5 submissions per year, for example). However, occasional or “one off” contributions will always be considered.

A designation of “columnist” is offered to established authors who intend to contribute on a weekly or monthly basis, usually within a specific topic area.

How Bylines Are Published

  • Bylined articles are published on the homepage, where they remain for at least one week.
  • Articles remain in CCI’s category and tag archives indefinitely.
  • The author profile appears beneath the published article and includes a headshot and professional biography, a link to a company website and links to social media accounts, if provided.
  • The author’s byline is linked to the author’s personal author archive page on the CCI website.
