Publication Frequency

Ho Chi Minh City Open University Journal of Science - Social Sciences adopts a Continuous Online Publication model combined with Issue-based Publication to ensure the timely dissemination of accepted research while maintaining the journal's regular volume and issue structure.

Accepted manuscripts are published online immediately after completing the editorial workflow, including double-blind peer review, copyediting, production, and final approval by the Editor-in-Chief. Authors are therefore not required to wait until the completion of an entire issue before their articles are published.

The Journal accepts submissions and publishes articles throughout the year under its continuous publication model.

The Journal publishes twelve issues per year according to the following schedule:

At the close of each issue, all articles published online during the corresponding publication period are compiled into the official issue, with the table of contents and final bibliographic information completed.

This publication model shortens the time between article acceptance and publication, enhances research visibility, accelerates scholarly communication, and aligns with international publishing practices adopted by leading academic publishers.
