IJCSR encourages authors to share their research early by posting preprints on publicly accessible repositories.

Key Points:

• Permitted: Authors can deposit preprints of their work before, during, or after submission to IJCSR.
• Copyright: Copyright remains with the authors. Authors are responsible for ensuring their preprint adheres to the repository's terms of use.
• Citation: Authors are encouraged to include a link to their preprint in their IJCSR submission.

Benefits of Preprints:

• Increased visibility and dissemination of research
• Sparks early feedback and discussion
• Helps establish priority of research

Note:

• The peer-review process of IJCSR remains independent of preprint availability.
• Final versions published in IJCSR will be the official record of scholarship.
