Currently the only internal academic publication at the FC is the Fisheries Centre Research Reports (ISSN 11989-6727). The Reports usually contain papers from international workshops and research projects at the Centre. They report terminal works that are abstracted in Aquatic Science and Fisheries Abstracts, for the benefit of researchers around the world.
In addition to the Fisheries Centre Research Reports, a new Working Paper Series has now been introduced to serve as a 'placeholder' for papers that are destined for publication in the primary literature. Such a series will help to make Fisheries Centre work available to our colleagues in a timely fashion, and well before the works appear in the primary literature. It will also help us to get timely comments from colleagues. Another advantage of having a Working Paper Series is the ability to cite a working paper, which most journals would not allow you to do with an unpublished manuscript. It should be noted that some journals will not allow the publication of a working paper for papers to be published in them (e.g. Fish and Fisheries, Nature and Science). Authors are therefore advised to check before they publish a working paper.
Logistics, costs
An important principle here is that producing a working paper should impose (almost) zero marginal cost on the authors and the FC. Hence, the following steps for doing so:
