Announcements
Announcements provide a clear record of calls for papers, issue notices, corrections, publication schedules, and operational updates. Every notice should include a date, a specific status, a responsible contact route, and links to the policy or journal record it affects.

01
Updates Readers Can Verify
A journal announcement should answer what changed, when it takes effect, and where readers can confirm the details. Calls for papers should link to the Aims and Scope and Submissions pages rather than repeating partial requirements.
Corrections and retractions belong with the affected article record as well as in the announcement stream. That connection protects the scholarly record and helps readers find the current status of a work.

How Journal Notices Are Presented
Notices use descriptive titles and absolute dates. Material changes include an update note rather than silently replacing the original announcement.
Expired calls can remain accessible for transparency, but their status should be obvious so an author does not mistake a closed deadline for an active opportunity.
- Confirm the notice date and current status.
- Follow linked policies for complete requirements.
- Use the article or issue record for final publication details.
- Contact the editorial office when a notice is unclear.
Common questions
Questions Readers and Contributors Ask
Are announcements scholarly articles?
No. They are operational journal notices and do not form part of the peer-reviewed article record.
Where are correction details kept?
A notice may announce the change, but the article record should carry the permanent correction, retraction, or version information.
How can authors confirm a call for papers?
Check that the notice links to the journal’s Aims and Scope, submission requirements, dates, and official submission route.
