EDITORIAL NOTE: CHANGES TO JOURNAL PUBLICATION SCHEDULE

Behavior and Social Issues, Fall 2008

Beginning with Volume 18 (2009), Behavior and Social Issues will publish articles online immediately upon final acceptance, thus making journal content more quickly available to scholars, policy-makers, and practitioners. At the end of each calendar year, all articles published during that year will be arranged and assembled into a single bound issue for subscribers.

This arrangement will allow us to publish a larger number of articles at less cost and reduce subscription prices, while providing a venue for authors to see their work in print up to a year earlier than is currently the case. We believe that this arrangement will benefit readers and authors, and will help ensure the future of the journal. At some point print journals may become anachronisms, but for the moment, we believe maintaining both print and electronic versions of BSI in efficient ways provides value to both authors and readers.
