News
July 2023: We are doing the following: i) Editing a special edition of the Hestia Review; ii) Publicizing our upcoming conferences; iii) adjusting metadata for Hestia Review articles in order to be archived by Google Scholar; iv) Having obtained ISSN registration for the Hestia Review, we are now in the process of registering with Crossref in order to be able to issue individual DOI numbers for articles; The next stage will be to register with the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). This process will take some time (to cut a long story short, we need to publish another edition of the Hestia Review, and add editorial and copyright policy statements to the website). We aim to complete this process by early 2024. All going well, all articles will be retroactively archived with DOAJ; v) Next year we plan to refurbish our website and move it to a new domain.
