Does it cost anything?
No. Joining is free, and the people you invite use the free versions of the products unless they choose to pay.
Can I get money instead of credits?
No. Credits can only be used for the rewards on this site. This keeps the programme simple and fair.
Why are journals not included?
So that publishing decisions can never be connected to referrals. Peer review stays completely separate from this programme.
When does a sign-up count?
When someone opens your link and creates a new Science Catalogs account within 30 days, on the same device. People who already have an account do not count.
What happens when the season ends?
New sign-ups stop earning credits after 31 March 2027. Credits you have already earned stay usable until they expire.
