The journal publishes two thematic issues (Spring and Fall) and one Varia issue per year.
Release time
- Special issue: The whole process usually lasts approximately 10 months.
- Varia issue: From submission to pre-publication, approximately 4 months. Articles submitted in the permanent call for publication are available on the site in pre-publication version immediately after their acceptance following the expert review process. At the end of the year, the layout of the issue is finalized for publication.
