Publication Frequency
Publication Schedule & Continuous Publication Model

Advances in Business & Industrial Marketing Research (ABIM) publishes one volume each year comprising three numbered issues.

ABIM follows a structured annual issue schedule while applying continuous publication within the active issue to support timely dissemination of peer-reviewed scholarly work.

 
Annual Publication Schedule
ISSUE 1
January–April
ISSUE 2
May–August
ISSUE 3
September–December
Implementation note: The January–April, May–August, and September–December schedule represents ABIM's standard annual publication cycle and applies fully from Volume 5 (2027) onward. Issue designations and publication periods already established in earlier volumes, including the transitional 2026 publication record, remain unchanged.
Continuous Publication
Beginning on 1 September 2026, ABIM applies a continuous publication model within the active issue.

Under this model, an article may be formally published online once it has successfully completed peer review, editorial evaluation, final acceptance, copyediting, proofreading, production, and metadata verification.

Authors do not need to wait until all articles assigned to an issue have completed production before an accepted article is published.

Each published article is assigned to the appropriate volume and numbered issue and becomes part of the journal's official scholarly record upon formal publication.

Version of Record

The formally published online article constitutes the authoritative Version of Record.

Published articles receive final bibliographic information and, where applicable, DOI and article metadata so that they may be cited, discovered, preserved, and disseminated immediately after publication.

Historical Publication Record

Previously published volumes and issues retain their original publication dates, issue designations, article metadata, and bibliographic information. Adoption of the current publication schedule and continuous publication model does not retrospectively alter the journal's historical scholarly record.

Publication Model Principle
Important: Continuous publication does not replace ABIM's three-issue annual structure. Articles are published continuously within the currently active issue and remain assigned to the appropriate volume and numbered issue.
