It's best to do that research before you submit, remember, so that you don't waste your time or clog up the slush pile of a press you'd rather not publish with.
True, but in the case you haven't done this, do it before you sign. Back when I was offered this contract, I simply had no idea what sort of things would be in a contract and it didn't occur to me that very small publishers wouldn't support the work they published themselves. I simply assumed that it was a publisher's job to market and get reviews.
Innocent, I know, but I think a lot of people start out that way.
