Journal Publication Update: Continuous Publication Model

We are pleased to announce that, starting from Volume 4, Number 1 (2026), the journal will adopt a continuous publication model.

Under this model, accepted manuscripts will be published online immediately after completing the editorial review, copyediting, proofreading, and production processes, without waiting for the full issue to be finalized. This approach is intended to accelerate the dissemination of research findings, enhance article visibility, and provide authors with earlier opportunities for citation.

Although articles will be published online continuously, they will remain officially assigned to the journal’s regular issue structure.

This policy will take effect beginning with Vol. 4, No. 1 (2026) and reflects the journal’s commitment to improving publication timeliness and increasing the accessibility of scholarly work.
