These dates are indicative. A manuscript is assigned to an issue only after it has been accepted, revised as required and passed copyediting. Manuscripts accepted after the cut-off date, or once an issue already holds 15 articles, move to the next available issue.
- Accepted articles are placed in issues in order of final acceptance, subject to the limit of 15 articles per issue.
- Authors are informed of the volume and issue assigned to their article before publication and receive proofs for final checking.
- The editorial team keeps a balance of topics and author affiliations within each issue, consistent with the journal's scope.
- Once an issue is published, its articles are final; any later changes follow the journal's correction and retraction policy.
- If an issue must be delayed for exceptional reasons, the new date will be announced on the journal homepage.
