Communication Prior to Publication

Post-Publication Discussion, Preprint Policy, and Archive Policy for Catalyst Research Chronicles (CRC Journal)

At Catalyst Research Chronicles (CRC Journal), we maintain an open and transparent approach to communication before and after publication to ensure the integrity of the research we publish. Below are our policies related to communication prior to publication, post-publication discussion, preprints, and article archiving.

Communication Prior to Publication

We believe it is essential that the peer-reviewed and published version of a paper is available when it is discussed in public media. This ensures that the press can provide informed comments based on the final, peer-reviewed article. Authors may respond to media requests about their work before publication, offering clarification or additional context. However, we suggest authors make it clear if the work has not undergone peer review yet, explaining that the findings are provisional and conclusions may change.

We assure that any media coverage will not hinder the editorial handling of the manuscript.
