Publication Frequency
Explainable Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare follows a quarterly publication schedule, publishing four issues annually in February, May, August, and November. The journal is committed to maintaining a consistent and predictable publication timeline to ensure the regular dissemination of high-quality scientific research in the fields of explainable artificial intelligence, healthcare informatics, medical decision support systems, and intelligent healthcare technologies.
To maintain publication regularity and improve the efficiency of scholarly communication, the journal adopts a continuous publication approach within its scheduled issues. Accepted manuscripts that have successfully completed the peer-review, editorial, and production processes may be published online as soon as the final version is ready, without waiting for the official release date of the issue. These articles are then assigned to the forthcoming scheduled issue according to the journal's publication calendar.
This publishing model benefits authors by enabling their research to become available to the academic community at the earliest opportunity, thereby increasing visibility, accessibility, and citation potential. At the same time, it allows the journal to maintain its established publication schedule while ensuring a steady flow of high-quality scholarly content throughout the year.
The journal publishes four issues per year and does not impose a strict limitation on the number of articles included in each issue. The number of published articles may vary depending on the quality and quantity of manuscripts that successfully meet the journal's editorial and peer-review standards.
