Publication Frequency

📅 01. Publication Frequency

The Journal of Advanced Food Technology, Cultivation, and Innovation (JAFTCI) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal published twice annually, in June and November. Each publication year comprises two regular issues, providing a structured schedule for disseminating original scientific research and scholarly reviews in food technology, cultivation sciences, biotechnology, aquaculture, and sustainable innovation.

The journal follows a biannual publication schedule to maintain consistency, transparency, and continuity in scholarly dissemination. Manuscripts are evaluated through the applicable editorial screening and peer-review procedures before publication.

🌱 First Issue

JUNE

🌾 Second Issue

NOVEMBER

Annual Publication Schedule: JAFTCI publishes two regular issues per year, with Number 1 scheduled for June and Number 2 scheduled for November. The publication schedule is maintained to support consistent academic dissemination and the timely communication of scientific findings.

📝 02. Manuscript Submission and Editorial Processing

Manuscripts are submitted through the official JAFTCI Online Journal System (OJS) in accordance with the journal's submission procedures and applicable calls for papers. All submissions are subject to initial editorial screening and, where appropriate, scholarly peer review.

The submission, review, revision, acceptance, and publication stages are distinct editorial processes. The timing of each stage may vary depending on manuscript quality, reviewer availability, the complexity of revisions, and the completion of editorial production requirements.

Editorial Scheduling Principles

  1. Submission: Authors submit manuscripts through the official journal platform in accordance with the applicable submission requirements.
  2. Editorial Screening: The editorial team evaluates manuscript suitability, completeness, originality, and relevance to the journal's focus and scope.
  3. Peer Review: Suitable manuscripts undergo scientific evaluation by qualified reviewers according to the journal's peer-review procedures.
  4. Revision and Decision: Editorial decisions are based on scientific merit, methodological rigor, reviewer recommendations, and compliance with publication standards.
  5. Issue Assignment: Accepted manuscripts are assigned to an appropriate publication issue according to editorial readiness, production requirements, and available publication scheduling.

Important Notice: Manuscript submission, completion of peer review, or editorial acceptance does not automatically guarantee publication in a particular issue. The final publication schedule is determined by the editorial office based on manuscript readiness and the journal's established publication frequency.

🚀 03. Early Publication

Where early publication is implemented, JAFTCI distinguishes between manuscripts that have been accepted but remain in editorial production and articles made publicly available in their final or corrected-proof form before an issue is formally completed. The publication status must be clearly identified to ensure accurate scholarly communication.

📄 Article in Press / Accepted Manuscript

An accepted full-text manuscript that has completed the editorial decision process but is still awaiting one or more publication production stages, such as copyediting, layout preparation, or final proof correction.

🌐 Online First / Issue in Progress

A final or corrected-proof article made publicly accessible online before the complete journal issue is formally finalized. The publication record should identify the article's current status and provide accurate publication information.

Early Publication Requirements

Articles made available through an early publication mechanism must provide accessible full text, accurate authorship and publication metadata, and a clearly identifiable publication status. Relevant publication information should remain consistent when articles are subsequently assigned to a completed journal issue.

Abstract-only records are not regarded as published full-text articles. Early publication must not be confused with manuscript submission, editorial review, or acceptance notification.

📚 04. Publication Consistency and Issue Archives

JAFTCI organizes its published scholarly content according to a biannual issue structure. Each completed issue is identified by its corresponding volume, number, publication year, and publication month.

Published issues are maintained through the journal's online archive to facilitate scholarly discovery, citation, and access to previously published research.
