Publication Frequency & Schedule

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.

  1. Regular Publication Schedule

SUJAST is published on a monthly basis, releasing twelve (12) issues per volume, per year. Each volume corresponds to one calendar year (e.g., Volume 2024).

  1. Publication Model: Continuous Online Publication

To minimize delays between acceptance and publication, SUJAST operates on a "Continuous Publication" or "Online First" model:

  • Immediate Online 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 of the journal's website, even before the formal issue is compiled.
  • Issue 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.
  • Citation: Articles are fully citable from the moment they appear online with their unique Article ID and Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
  1. Issue Structure & Access
  • Format: The journal is published exclusively in electronic (online) format via our official website. There is no print edition.
  • Access: All issues, both current and archival, are permanently and freely accessible in the "Archives" section of the journal website.
  • Identification: Each issue is identified by its Volume, Issue Number, Month, and Year (e.g., Vol. 3, No. 5, May 2024).
  1. 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.

  1. 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 and is indexed in major databases to guarantee persistent access.

  1. Notification Services

Readers and researchers can stay updated by:

  • Registering for Email Alerts (Table of Contents alerts) on the journal website.
  • Following the journal's official social media channels (if applicable).
  • Subscribing to the journal's RSS feed.
