Publication Frequency & Schedule
Regular, timely publication ensuring rapid dissemination of research to the global scientific community
Sana'a University Journal of Applied Sciences and Technology (SUJAST) maintains a regular and timely publication schedule to ensure the rapid dissemination of new research findings to the global scientific community. This policy outlines our publication model, timelines, and issue management.
SUJAST is published on a monthly basis, releasing twelve issues per volume, per year. Each volume corresponds to one calendar year (e.g., Volume 2024).
Continuous Publication Model
To minimize delays between acceptance and publication, SUJAST operates on a "Continuous Publication" or "Online First" model:
Immediate Availability
Once a manuscript is fully accepted, copyedited, and formatted, it is published online in its final version as part of the "Latest Articles" section, even before the formal issue is compiled.
Monthly Compilation
At the end of each month, all articles published online during that month are formally compiled into a complete, paginated monthly issue with a table of contents.
Immediate Citation
Articles are fully citable from the moment they appear online with their unique Article ID and Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
Issue Structure & Access
Electronic Format
The journal is published exclusively in electronic (online) format via our official website. There is no print edition, ensuring global accessibility and reduced environmental impact.
Open Access
All issues, both current and archival, are permanently and freely accessible in the "Archives" section of the journal website, adhering to our open-access principles.
Issue Identification
Each issue is clearly identified by its Volume, Issue Number, Month, and Year for easy reference and citation.
Special Issues
Periodically, the journal may publish Special Issues focused on emerging topics or significant themes. These are integrated into the regular publication schedule and follow the same rigorous peer-review process. Calls for Papers for Special Issues are announced on the journal website and through our notification channels.
Archiving and Preservation
All published issues and individual articles are permanently archived to ensure long-term preservation and availability. The journal utilizes digital archiving systems (LOCKSS/CLOCKSS) and is indexed in major databases to guarantee persistent access for future generations of researchers.
