Publishing Model & Frequency

This page describes how and when IJPSC publishes accepted articles, and how the journal’s volumes and issues are structured.

Continuous Article-Based Publishing

IJPSC operates a continuous article-based publishing model. Following successful completion of the peer-review process, final editorial approval, and production, accepted articles are published online without waiting for the completion of an entire issue. Articles are subsequently assigned to the relevant volume and issue.

This publication model enables the timely dissemination of research findings while maintaining the journal’s full editorial and peer-review standards.

Volumes and Issues

Published articles are grouped into numbered volumes and issues for citation, archiving, and indexing purposes. An issue remains open to new articles on a rolling basis; articles are added as they complete peer review and production, rather than being held back for a fixed periodic release date.

Online and Print

IJPSC is published online (ISSN 2941-5691) immediately upon completion of production. A corresponding print edition (ISSN 2941-5705) follows separately; the online version is the journal’s version of record and is not delayed by print production schedules.

DOI Registration

Each published article is assigned a persistent DOI (prefix 10.61030), registered with Crossref at the time of publication. The DOI, together with the received, accepted, and published dates, is displayed on the article’s landing page.

Open Access

All published articles are freely available immediately upon publication, with no embargo period. See the Open Access Policy for full details.
