Can I cite HIPAA Journal articles in internal policies, training, or presentations?
Posted By PJ Murray on Oct 27, 2025
Yes, you are welcome to cite The HIPAA Journal in your internal policies, training materials, and presentations, and we simply ask that you give full credit to “The HIPAA Journal” as the source of the information. Where possible, it is helpful to include the article title, “The HIPAA Journal” as the publisher, and the date of the article if available. If you are using digital materials (such as online training, slide decks, intranet pages, or learning management systems), you may also include a link back to the original article so that colleagues can read the full context and see any future updates.
You should avoid presenting copied text or graphics as your own original work, but you are welcome to quote short excerpts, summarize or paraphrase the content, and incorporate The HIPAA Journal’s explanations into your own policies and training, as long as you clearly attribute the source to “The HIPAA Journal.”
