Continuous Publication
JCA will move to a Continuous Publication model beginning with issue 59:1. Articles with their final citation details will be published online as soon as they are ready, without waiting for a complete issue to be assembled. This eliminates the need for issue curation and pagination, allowing for faster access to research for the academic community.
