New from 2023: Move to Continuous Publication Model

TAS has moved to a continuous publication model in 2023. This means that articles are published online as soon as they have completed the production process meaning researchers can access and cite the content faster than ever.

For authors

This means your article is immediately published into the issue with no more waiting in an Advance Access list. This also means that article indexing information is sent to abstracting and indexing databases on first publication and when the issue closes at the end of the year. 

For readers

This means a simpler reading experience for you. All articles are available in one version, one location, and citable in one way.
