ASCB Social Media Policy Guidelines

The following are guidelines for elected officers, journal editors, volunteers and staff of ASCB and subunits of ASCB (such as committees and taskforces) who participate in social media. Social media includes personal blogs and other websites, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and others. These guidelines apply whether an ASCB affiliate or group is posting to their own sites or commenting on other sites:

  • Where your affiliation to ASCB is stated, make it clear that you are speaking for yourself and not on behalf of ASCB. In those circumstances, you should include this disclaimer: “The views expressed on this [blog; website] are my own.” Consider adding this language in an “About me” or bio section of your blog or social media profile.
  • If you identify your affiliation to ASCB, your social media activities should be consistent with ASCB’s high standards of professional conduct. Be professional, respectful, use good judgment and be accurate and honest in your communications; errors, omissions or unprofessional language or behavior reflect poorly on ASCB and may result in liability for you or ASCB.
  • Unless approved by the Social Media Manager and/or CEO, your social media name, handle and URL should not include ASCB’s name or logo. (See ASCB Branding Guidelines.)
  • Committees, taskforces and other groups organized under the ASCB should not create separate social media accounts, but should work with the marketing manager and social media manager to get their messages out via the official ASCB channels. Exceptions may be granted by the CEO.
