Publication Frequency

The journal was previously published annually. However, beginning in 2024, it started publishing twice a year. For 2024, the journal's issues were published in June and August. From 2025 onward, the journal will be published in January and June. The tradition of publishing supplementary articles for issues ended in 2023. Authors are encouraged to consider our publication schedules when revising manuscripts or checking galley proofs. If an article misses a particular issue, the author (s) must wait for the next issue. It is essential to add that the two issues in a year exclude any special issue. The highest number of special issues that can be published in a year is one. The theme of our special issue can be limited to a geographical area or open to international participation.
