Publication Frequency

The Journal of Clinical and Advanced Medicine (JCAM) follows a Continuous Publication model.

Under this model, articles are published individually online immediately after successful peer review, editorial approval, and final production, without waiting for a scheduled issue or fixed publication cycle. This approach enables rapid dissemination of research findings and ensures timely access to clinically relevant knowledge.

Key features of the Continuous Publication model:

• No fixed issues or issue schedules
• Articles are published as soon as they are ready
• Faster visibility and citation of accepted manuscripts
• Supports dynamic and up-to-date scientific communication

This model aligns with modern open-access publishing standards and supports the continuous advancement of clinical and medical sciences.
