Note: It is the policy of the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) that all published information that is intended for open public access on the JFSP website must have the appropriate approval for widespread public dissemination. If an agency published document is involved, the applicable agency process for approval must be completed prior to posting on the JFSP website. If a journal or book publisher, for example, is involved, then the Principal Investigator (PI) must ensure that whatever licensing agreement was signed permits widespread, open access via a public website. It is important that PIs distinguish the rules for pre-publication versions of their work versus final published versions.
