7 November 2007 - Early Publishing
In an effort to realise the flexibilities of online publishing and as a means of enhancing the service offered to authors and readers alike, SCRIPT-ed is pleased to announce the institution, commencing 1 January 2008, of an early online publishing procedure. Under the new procedure, any works considered time-sensitive will be published in SCRIPT-ed immediately; it will "go live" on the website under the heading Next Issue on the Home Page as soon as it completes the review process. We hope and expect this rolling publication procedure to facilitate the timely dissemination of works and the efficient transfer of knowledge.
