What does continuous publication mean?

Articles that are accepted and fully edited will be published online immediately after copyediting and final approval, without waiting for a complete issue to be assembled.

The time between manuscript acceptance and online publication will be significantly reduced.

Articles can be cited immediately after publication and will receive permanent bibliographic identifiers.

Articles will be identified electronically using the e-location ID system, in line with modern editorial practices.

What does this mean in practice?

This decision is part of the journal's development strategy, aimed at increasing international visibility and meeting the indexing requirements of major international databases (including PubMed Central).

All manuscripts submitted from January 1, 2027 onward must be written entirely in English.

Manuscripts submitted before October 31, 2026 and currently undergoing peer review will be evaluated and published in their original submission language (English/Romanian), following the journal's previous practice. Articles scheduled for publication after January 1, 2027, will be translated into English.

Issues published between 2002 and 2026 remain unchanged.
