Beginning January 2027, our journals (currently published based on Volume-Issue model) will adopt continuous publication, with one volume per calendar year and no issue numbers.

Continuous publishing’s main benefit is faster publication: each article will be published as soon as review, editing, typesetting, proofreading, and final production checks are complete, without waiting for a scheduled issue.

Articles published before 2027 will retain their original volume, issue, and citation details and remain accessible in the journal’s archives.

Our rigorous peer-review requirements, editorial standards, and commitment to research integrity will remain unchanged. We thank our authors, reviewers, editors, and readers for their continued support as we introduce this more timely and efficient publishing model.
