    • Additional Information

    Last Year:
    We decided to host conference proceedings next to journals. This was due to the need to consolidate our systems and provide a single point of access and preservation for all publishing endeavours.
    Future Plans:
    We plan to upgrade the system and make more explicit the status of each journal (active, inactive/irregular, achive).
