In 2021, Bentham Science moved a few journals to a Continuous Publishing Model, which means that an article will be published online as soon as it is finalized without waiting for an entire journal issue to be completed, resulting in a consistent stream of timely, high-quality content.

Our researchers, readers and students will thus be able to access and cite articles much more quickly as our print timetable will no longer be a limitation.

The following Bentham Science journals have been converted to continuous publication. These are:

1. Anti-Infective Agents
2. Coronaviruses
3. Current Bioactive Compounds
4. Current Cardiology Reviews
5. Current Diabetes Reviews
6. Current Drug Discovery Technologies
7. Current Traditional Medicine
8. Current Women's Health Reviews
9. Infectious Disorders - Drug Targets
10. Nanoscience & Nanotechnology-Asia
11. Recent Patents on Engineering
12. The Natural Products Journal
13. Current Signal Transduction Therapy
14. Journal of Photocatalysis
15. Current Nutraceuticals
16. Current Chinese Engineering Science
17. Current Chinese Computer Science
18. Current Chinese Chemistry
19. Current Nanotoxicity and Prevention
20. Current Mechanics and Advanced Materials
21. Venoms and Toxins
22. Journal of Fuzzy Logic and Modeling in Engineering
23. Current Cosmetic Science
24. New Advances on Endocrine Metabolic and Immune Diseases
25. Journal of Environmental Materials and Sustainable Energy
26. The International Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Diseases
27. The Chinese Journal of Artificial Intelligence
28. Current Applied Materials
29. Current Probiotics
30. Current Functional Foods
31. Current Forensic Science

Posting papers as soon as they are finalized has several advantages. The readers will get access to articles faster, and they will therefore draw an increased number of citations which will have a positive impact on the journal’s impact factor.

In Continuous Publication, the article that is made available online is the fully formatted final version, with complete references, and it is available in PDF format.

A unique article identifier is used instead of page numbers to cite an article within a volume. This identifier can be found on every article page.

All accepted articles will be published in an issue as soon as they are finalized in the continuous publication model. Instead of consecutive pagination of articles, each article will have internal pagination beginning at page 1.

Furthermore, each article will have a unique Article ID number that will appear on every page of the article and will replace the page numbers in the citation line. As a result, as soon as the publication process is completed, all papers will have their full and final citation information available.

A citation to an article in the continuous publication format would appear as:
