Delays in Publishing Scholarly Journals

Library of the University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica

An inability to publish issues of journals at the appointed times is a problem common to many scholarly publishers in developing countries. One solution is to accept and announce a delay by dating a new issue with the actual published date. Another problem is the appearance of some issues out of sequence. This may be due to the desire to produce special thematic issues, which can interfere with the rapid communication of research findings and new ideas. It is also important that reviews of new publications appearing in scholarly journals be up-to-date. The implications for scholarship of delays in publication are considered and the importance of dating articles as well as journal issues is emphasized.
