Starting with the 2026 volume, Diakrisis adopts an online-first publication model. Articles are published individually online in the order in which they are accepted, following the completion of peer review and editorial approval. Each article is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) at the time of its initial online publication and becomes fully citable immediately upon release. At the stage of initial online publication, articles do not carry final page numbers. Page ranges are assigned only when the annual issue is closed, at which point articles are arranged into a finalized volume and paginated consecutively. The DOI assigned to each article remains unchanged throughout this process. Final pagination is added subsequently as part of the volume metadata and does not affect the article’s identity, accessibility, or citability. This publication model ensures: rapid dissemination of research, stable and persistent identification through DOI, and precise citation through final pagination in the completed annual volume.
