In 2026, RECI will begin publishing on a continuous flow basis!

2026-02-25

The Journal of Epidemiology and Infection Control announces an important update to its editorial policy: starting this year, approved articles will be published on a rolling basis.

This change follows current trends in international scientific communication and aims to make the dissemination of knowledge faster, more dynamic, and more accessible to the academic and professional community in the health field.

What changes in practice?

Under the previous model, approved articles awaited the completion of an issue before publication.

Now, with rolling publication:

  • The article is published immediately after final approval and editing.
  • There is no need to wait for the issue to close.
  • The DOI and electronic pagination are quickly available.
  • Visibility and scientific impact increase.

In other words, less waiting time and greater agility in scientific dissemination.
