Publication Model

The Journal of Economics, Governance and Sustainable Development (JEGSD) operates a continuous publication model within biannual issues to ensure the timely dissemination of high-quality scholarly research.

1. Continuous Publication within Biannual Issues

Under this model:

  • Articles are published online immediately upon acceptance
  • Each article is assigned to the current issue in progress (January–June or July–December)
  • Publication does not depend on completing a full issue
  • Articles become available to readers as soon as they are ready

This approach enhances the speed, accessibility, and impact of scholarly communication.

2. Volume Structure

The journal publishes one volume per calendar year, with all articles published within that year grouped under the same volume.

Examples:

  • Volume 1 (2026)
  • Volume 2 (2027)

3. Issue Organization

Each volume is divided into two issues per year:

  • Issue 1: January–June
  • Issue 2: July–December

Articles are published continuously and assigned to the appropriate issue upon acceptance. Each article is assigned:

  • A unique article identifier
  • A publication date
  • A volume and issue designation

This ensures proper organization for indexing, citation, and retrieval.
