Final publication process

In most cases there is the expectation the lead provides a final research report or reports as agreed in section 8 of the Project Plan (Milestones).
The CRCNA expects all final research activity materials and reports have been through a thorough review and approval process, including:
Feedback sought from all Project Participants and where applicable or appropriate Steering Committee members, stakeholders and co-funders
Documents and reports have been proof read, including for spelling and grammar
Where appropriate, reports have been peer reviewed
