Publishing Schedule

Publication Frequency

JSBE publishes six issues annually. Complete issues are normally compiled and released at the end of odd-numbered months: January, March, May, July, September, and November.

Online-first Publication

JSBE follows an online-first publication model. Accepted articles are published online on a rolling basis once they have completed copyediting, typesetting, proofreading, and final author approval. This model allows articles to be made available as soon as they are ready for publication, rather than waiting for the scheduled release of a complete issue.

At the end of each publication cycle, the articles published online first are compiled into the corresponding issue, and the complete issue is made available through the journal website.
