*All publications and podcasts are free to the public and can be downloaded without restriction.  Although EPRINC staff routinely make themselves available to print, radio, and TV journalists, we cannot provide full coverage of all appearances. We will, however, provide podcasts of selected interviews or programs where we believe the content adds to public understanding of developments in energy markets. Also, check the "Other Activities" section on our home page for podcasts and written materials from selected events and conferences in which EPRINC has made contributions. 
 
We do ask that if you quote or use any analysis or statements from EPRINC that a citation or credit be given. Note that from time to time, publishers will ask EPRINC to provide reports for their periodicals. In general, EPRINC reports that appear in periodicals are already available on our website. Reports appearing in professional journals and periodicals will generally be taken from earlier EPRINC work, but will likely appear in an abridged or modified form to meet the format and space requirements of the periodical. In the case of the Oil and Gas Journal, documents on the EPRINC website will be locked out from printing, but can be viewed online.  However, EPRINC does have reprints available and these can be sent directly to you for a modest handling and postage charge.  Please contact Yulan Guo at yulang@eprinc.org if you would like a reprint of any articles from the Oil and Gas Journal appearing on the EPRINC website.
