TK TechForum Journal publishes scholarly articles in regular quarterly issues organized by volume and issue number. The journal follows an article-first publication model, meaning that accepted manuscripts are published online as soon as the editorial process, copyediting, proofreading, and final production checks have been completed.
The journal publishes four issues per year. Issues are closed in March, June, September, and December. Articles accepted and finalized before the closure of an issue are assigned to the relevant current issue. This model allows the journal to make accepted research available to readers without unnecessary delay while maintaining a clear quarterly issue structure for indexing, archiving, and citation purposes.
All manuscripts are published only after successful completion of peer review, editorial approval, copyediting, proofreading, and final formatting. The publication schedule is designed to balance timely dissemination with the journal’s commitment to academic quality, research integrity, and professional production standards.
Where appropriate, TK TechForum Journal may also publish special issues or thematic collections devoted to emerging topics, interdisciplinary developments, or significant areas of research within mechanical engineering and allied engineering sciences. Special issues follow the same editorial and peer-review standards as regular issues.
By combining immediate online publication of finalized articles with a quarterly issue-closing schedule, TK TechForum Journal supports timely access to research while maintaining reliable publication planning for authors, readers, libraries, and indexing services.
