Publication Frequency
Publication Frequency
Advances in Economics & Financial Studies (AEFS) publishes one volume per calendar year with exactly three regular numbered issues: No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. The AEFS source proposes that, beginning with Volume 5 (2027), the issue periods become No. 1 January–April, No. 2 May–August and No. 3 September–December.
Standardized Issue Schedule
The proposed annual schedule beginning with Volume 5 (2027) is No. 1 January–April, No. 2 May–August and No. 3 September–December. These proposed periods retain three regular issues within each calendar-year volume. PERLU VERIFIKASI: Approval of the proposed schedule and its consistency with the official ISSN record have not been established. Website information alone is not evidence of ISSN approval. AEFS does not publish a fourth regular issue under this model.
2026–2027 Transition
The AEFS source records historical issue periods for Volume 1 (2023) through Volume 4 (2026) as No. 1 October–January, No. 2 February–May and No. 3 June–September. The October–January period spans two calendar years. Historical issue assignments and actual publication dates remain as documented in the journal archives. The source describes October–December 2026 as a transition before the proposed 2027 calendar, without an additional numbered issue. Editorial handling and production preparation may continue during that period. The transition and implementation of the proposed calendar must be reconciled with the approved journal schedule and official ISSN record. Valid DOI records and other historical bibliographic metadata must not be retrospectively altered.
Continuous Publication
The supplied AEFS policy states that, prospectively from 1 September 2026, the journal applies continuous publication within the applicable active numbered issue. A publication-ready article may be released after completion of final editorial acceptance, applicable post-acceptance administration, copyediting, proofreading and production, metadata verification, and preparation of the Version of Record. The article does not need to wait until every other manuscript assigned to the same issue has completed production.
Continuous publication changes the timing of article release within the active issue but does not alter the journal's annual volume structure, create an additional regular issue, or weaken peer-review, editorial, research-integrity or publication-quality requirements.
Version of Record & Publication Metadata
The final article formally published on the AEFS website constitutes the journal's authoritative Version of Record. For articles released through continuous publication, the publication date represents the date on which the Version of Record is formally made available online. Volume, issue, publication date, DOI, author information, licensing information and other essential publication metadata should remain consistent across the journal website, published article, DOI record and relevant scholarly services.
Historical Scholarly Record
Previously published volumes, issues, articles, publication dates, pagination, DOI records, issue titles and other valid bibliographic information remain part of AEFS's permanent scholarly record. The current publication model is applied prospectively and does not authorize retrospective renumbering, re-dating, relabeling or reconstruction of previously published content. Genuine metadata errors may be corrected transparently while preserving the history and traceability of the scholarly record.
Journal Archives
AEFS maintains an online archive of its published volumes, issues and articles. Readers should cite the bibliographic information and DOI associated with the applicable Version of Record.
