ONLINE FIRST

Catallaxy offers online first service, which is also referred to as 'publish ahead of print', 'publish before print', 'continuous publishing'. It allows completed articles, which are in queue for assignment to an upcoming issue, to be hosted online prior to their inclusion in a final online journal issue. The main objective of the online first is to allow an author’s research to reach its audience as quickly as possible. Therefore, it enables an article to receive grater usage and exposure, including earlier citation opportunities.

DOI are assigned to each article published in the Catallaxy journal and is permanently linked to the URL of the article published on the Economic Publishing Platform.
