CRA disseminates ads in the following ways. The cost of placing of your ad is the same regardless of which method you choose.
- Ad appears in Computing Research News (CRN) and is distributed electronically via CRA’s jobs webpage
(where it remains for no less than two months). This page also features a widely subscribed Rss Feed. - Ad distributed electronically only.
Computing Research News is distributed electronically ten times a year: January, February, March, April, May, June, August, September, October and November. You must contact us before the 15th to request that your ad be placed in the next consecutive issue of CRN at no additional cost. It will NOT appear in the following month unless you select this option. The deadlines for each issue are:

Ads can be posted on the website at any time, regardless of which issue of CRN you publish them in. If you want your ad to be posted on the website before the publication date of the next CRN, please let us know when you accept your ad quote and we will try to post it within a day or two. If you do not indicate when you would like your ad posted, it will be on or soon before the publication date of the next CRN.
