The Journal of Epidemiology and Infection Control (RECI) announces that, as of this date, it officially adopts a continuous publication model.

With this change, approved articles will be available immediately after the completion of the editorial stages, without the need to wait for the closing of a full issue. This measure reduces the time between approval and publication and increases the speed of scientific dissemination.

The peer review criteria and methodological rigor remain unchanged. Submissions remain permanently open.
