Paper Prints Policy

The Clinical and Health Research Exploration journal recognizes the importance of maintaining high standards for the publication and distribution of research. This Paper Print Policy outlines the procedures related to the printing and distribution of articles in physical formats, ensuring accessibility and the integrity of the content.

2. Paper Publication and Distribution:

  • Open Access: All articles published in Clinical and Health Research Exploration are available in an open-access format. The journal primarily focuses on digital publication, which ensures immediate and global access to all research without any barriers.
  • Print Editions: While the journal is primarily digital, print versions may be made available upon request for specific purposes such as conferences, institutional libraries, or archival needs.

3. Print Version Request:

  • Availability: Print copies of individual articles or full issues of the journal will be available upon request. Requests can be made by authors, academic institutions, and other stakeholders for purposes such as personal reference, teaching materials, or institutional archiving.
  • Fees: A nominal fee may be charged for the printing and shipping of articles or full issues. The fee is intended to cover printing, binding, and distribution costs. The fee structure will be provided upon request.
  • Order Process: To request print copies of an article or journal issue, users must complete the online request form available on the journal’s website or contact the editorial office directly. The request form will require details such as the article or issue name, the number of copies, and shipping information.

4. Print Copy Format:

  • Quality: The printed articles will be in high-quality, standard journal format, ensuring readability and the preservation of the formatting, figures, and tables as seen in the digital version.
  • Packaging: Printed articles will be securely packaged to ensure protection during transit. Large orders (e.g., bulk printing for institutions) will be handled in a way that minimizes shipping damage.

5. Archiving of Print Copies:

  • Institutional Archives: Printed copies will be archived for a certain period in institutional libraries and other designated locations for long-term access. These print copies may serve as physical archives in cases where digital access is not feasible or for legacy purposes.
  • Long-Term Availability: The availability of printed issues or articles will be contingent on the print run and specific publication policies. Authors, institutions, or libraries requesting print editions are encouraged to request copies in advance of publication to ensure availability.

6. Environmental Considerations:

In an effort to promote sustainability, the journal strives to minimize unnecessary printing. Digital publication is the preferred method of dissemination to reduce environmental impact. Print copies will be offered selectively based on demand, and the journal encourages the use of digital copies as the primary mode of access.

7. Distribution of Printed Issues:

  • Conference and Special Events: Special print editions of the journal may be distributed at conferences, seminars, or events related to clinical and health research. In these cases, printed materials will serve as handouts or resources for attendees.
  • Author Copies: Authors whose articles are published in the journal will be entitled to receive one complimentary print copy of their article. Additional copies can be ordered at the author’s expense.

8. Intellectual Property and Copyright:

  • Author Consent: Authors must acknowledge that print copies are subject to the same copyright and intellectual property terms as digital versions. Authors are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary permissions to reproduce any third-party content, such as images or data, in the print version.

9. Periodicity and Volume:

  • Frequency of Print Editions: Print versions of the journal will be produced on an issue-by-issue basis, depending on the request volume. A minimum of one print run per year may be considered, contingent on demand.
  • Volume and Issue Information: Printed versions will maintain the volume and issue numbers, along with standard editorial information such as tables of contents, editorial board listings, and contact details.
