Publication Model: Continuous (Rolling) Publication
type: item
description: Starting from 1 January 2026, International Journal of Disaster Risk Management (IJDRM) is a semiannual journal (two issues per year) and applies a continuous (rolling) publication model. Articles are published individually and promptly as soon as they successfully complete the full editorial workflow, including peer review, acceptance, copyediting, proofreading, and final typesetting, without waiting for the closing date of an issue. Within each annual volume, IJDRM uses continuous pagination: each newly published article receives a final, consecutive page range that follows the pagination of previously published articles in the same volume. The published article represents the final version of record, and its bibliographic metadata (including title, author information, DOI, and pagination) remain unchanged after publication. Each article is assigned a DOI at the time of online publication (where applicable) to ensure stable identification, discoverability, and citation. For organizational, indexing, and archiving purposes, articles published within the same volume are subsequently assigned to Issue 1 or Issue 2. This assignment is administrative only and does not affect the final citation details. Authors and readers are encouraged to cite articles using the year, volume, page range, and DOI (and issue number once assigned, if required by a specific citation style).
