New model introduced: Article Based Publishing

4

• Publishing an article to an ‘issue in progress’ as soon as it is final, not having to wait for the entire issue to appear.

• As an article is finalised, it receives a page range and is published in an Issue in Progress.

• Final citation data on an article by article basis, decoupled from the issue bound model
