Publication format and release schedule

The journal Actual Dentistry is published in two formats: print and electronic. The edition is officially registered and has the corresponding international identifiers (see the section Publications).

The editorial office applies a continuous publication model. Articles are made available on the website in Open Access format immediately after completing the peer review and editorial preparation process. Once a sufficient number of materials have been accumulated, the articles are compiled and approved in a printed issue, which is released according to the official schedule.

Schedule of the printed version:

Issue number	Planned period	Approximate release date of the printed edition
No. 1	January – February	by March 31
No. 2	March – April	by May 31
No. 3	May – June	by July 31
No. 4	July – August	by September 30
No. 5	September – October	by November 30
No. 6	November – December	by January 31 (of the following year)

Both publication formats (electronic and print) are equivalent:

• Electronic version (ISSN 2786-7641): articles receive a DOI and are considered officially published from the date of posting on the website.
• Print version (ISSN 1992-576X): the final collection of materials released according to the schedule. The content of the electronic and print versions is identical.

Obtaining printed copies:

Authors whose articles are included in the respective issue are entitled to receive one author’s copy of the journal.

• For authors in Ukraine: printed copies are sent by postal delivery within 10–14 days after the official release date of the issue from the printing house.
• For authors abroad: by prior arrangement, copies may be sent via international postal services (at the author’s expense), or an official PDF layout of the article may be provided.
