Vol. 8, No. 1 (2026) is published using a rolling (continuous) publication model. Articles are published online individually as soon as they successfully complete double-blind peer review and the full production workflow (copyediting, typesetting/layout, and final proofing). This issue will be updated continuously until it is formally closed, ensuring that new research becomes available to readers without unnecessary delay. We invite you to visit this page regularly to follow the latest publications as they appear. Online First (Articles in Press) publishes accepted manuscripts ahead of final issue assignment. Articles appear here after completing the editorial process and production (copyediting/layout), and will later be assigned to a specific volume/issue. The journal publishes two issues per year (June and December) for the current year. DOI information will be added upon registration and final issue publication. Call for authors: IJDRM welcomes high-quality original research, reviews, and practice-oriented contributions across the full disaster risk management cycle—prevention, preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation—covering natural hazards, technological hazards, complex emergencies, and emerging risks. Authors are warmly encouraged to submit their manuscripts via the journal’s online system; accepted articles are published promptly under this continuous publication model.
