Online First

The timely dissemination of high-quality research and innovation outcomes is a commitment to the scientific and professional community.

Online First refers to the publication of articles in their final approved version before they are assigned to a definitive volume and issue of the journal.

Articles published under this model have successfully completed the journal’s editorial process, including peer review, final revision, and approval for publication.

Each article is assigned a DOI and may be cited from its online publication date.

Once the corresponding regular issue is finalized, the article is incorporated into its definitive volume and issue while preserving its editorial metadata and academic integrity.

Minor formal adjustments may exist between the Online First version and the final version assigned to a regular issue, mainly regarding bibliographic information such as volume, issue, pagination, or citation data.
