Preprint Policy

Catalyst Research Chronicles (CRC Journal) supports open science practices by allowing authors to post preprints of their manuscripts. Preprints may include the Original Version, Accepted Manuscript, or Version of Record and can be shared on preprint servers, authors’ or institutional websites, or other open platforms for communication between researchers.

• Preprint Identification: Authors should identify the preprint server where their work is hosted and include the DOI or accession number during the submission process.
• Publication: Once accepted, an online version of the article will be published as soon as possible to ensure the manuscript is freely accessible. After publication, authors are responsible for updating their preprint records with the journal reference (including DOI) and a link to the published article on the journal’s website.
