The journal platform will remain accessible at all times, allowing you to submit your manuscript and provide any required input during the review stage (e.g., submitting your review or revisions) or finalisation stage (e.g., copyediting, proofreading). For urgent matters during this period, please contact the AOSIS Contact Centre. Please note that response times may be slightly delayed during the holiday period due to reduced staffing.
