Jurnal Desain is published quarterly, with scheduled issues in September, December, March, and June. Actual issue and article publication dates are recorded in the journal archive and article metadata.

Issue in Progress Publication Model

Jurnal Desain implements an Issue in Progress publication model, under which articles may be published progressively within a scheduled issue as they complete all required editorial, peer-review, revision, and production processes.

An issue may remain open while additional manuscripts undergo editorial processing. Only manuscripts that have received formal acceptance and completed the necessary production stages are eligible for online publication.

The Issue in Progress model does not alter the journal's quarterly publication frequency, compromise its scholarly and ethical standards, or guarantee publication within a specific timeframe.

The journal maintains transparency by recording actual publication dates accurately, without backdating articles or issues. An issue is formally completed once its publication process has concluded, and its final publication status is reflected in the journal archive.
