CSJ LIVE
Regional science communication requires more than publication alone; it depends on translation, journalism, metadata, digital archives, institutional discovery and long-term public trust.The CSJ Research Impact Campaign creates a permanent discovery record, substantial research feature, researcher Q&A, organised metadata, original visuals, promotional texts and a structured visibility report.Researchers and journals should not have to choose between technical accuracy and public understanding; careful science journalism can preserve both while expanding international discoverability.Academic press releases create greater public value when they explain the research problem, identify the source, describe the method, state the result proportionately and make the next research step visible.A DOI improves traceability but does not by itself prove peer-review quality, institutional recognition or research reliability; readers still need complete publication context and critical evaluation.Georgia’s research institutions, laboratories, universities and independent scholars deserve an international platform where serious work is explained with evidence, context and traceable sources.Caucasus Science Journalism is building a serious regional public record of institutions, research projects, scientific ideas, journals, conferences, museums, authors and academic opportunities.The strongest academic visibility is durable, traceable and reusable: a permanent page, organised metadata, responsible editorial explanation, original visual assets and clear links to the original research source.Applications are reviewed before payment because CSJ charges for editorial production, metadata preparation, visual communication, distribution and maintenance—not for scientific approval or guaranteed acceptance.CSJ places Georgia and the wider Caucasus at the centre of its editorial identity while covering global research whenever it offers clear regional relevance or important public knowledge.The Journal Visibility & Transparency Programme gives approved journals a permanent press room, structured profile, metadata review, article discovery records, editor interview and year-round visibility support.Corrections are part of responsible publishing: requests should identify the exact statement, provide reliable evidence and include a stable official source that the editorial desk can independently review.Technology becomes meaningful only when claims can be connected to a working method, transparent evidence, realistic implementation conditions, public value, responsible governance and measurable outcomes.The CSJ Journal Directory is an independent metadata and discovery service; a directory record does not constitute accreditation, regulatory recognition, impact-factor assignment or inclusion in major scholarly databases.A published paper can reach beyond its specialist audience when the research question, method, findings, relevance and limitations are translated into accurate and internationally accessible science journalism.CSJ welcomes verifiable submissions from universities, researchers, journals, laboratories, museums, professional institutions, conference organisers and research-support organisations working in the public interest.Selected journal articles can receive international-facing research features that journals may use to attract stronger authors, improve public understanding and create durable visibility beyond a single issue.Health and psychology reporting must protect readers from exaggerated certainty by distinguishing clinical guidance, peer-reviewed evidence, preliminary findings, professional interpretation and commercial promotion.Research discovery should begin with complete metadata: identifiable authorship, institutional affiliation, publication status, source journal, DOI or stable link, principal findings and stated limitations.Sponsored visibility is labelled according to its function, and payment never converts an unsupported institutional statement, commercial claim or preliminary finding into established scientific fact.Conference and grant announcements are most useful when organisers, dates, deadlines, eligibility conditions, fees, venue information and official source links are presented clearly and can be independently checked.Universities strengthen public trust when their announcements identify the responsible faculty, laboratory or centre and link readers directly to the paper, grant, programme or official institutional record.Caucasus Science Journalism connects regional scholarship with international readers while clearly separating established findings, preliminary research, institutional claims and editorial analysis.Museums, archives, geological collections and cultural institutions are not merely exhibition spaces; properly documented collections can serve as long-term scientific, educational and civic infrastructure.
