Implementation of Article Numbering System

Implementation of Article Numbering System
The Editorial Board of the Community and Social Development Journal wishes to inform authors and readers that, effective from Volume 27, Issue 2 year 2026, the journal will implement an article numbering system in place of traditional page numbering for all published articles.
This change is undertaken to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of article identification, to facilitate digital indexing and retrieval, and to ensure alignment with current international publishing practices. Under this system, each article will be assigned a unique article number, which will serve as the primary reference in citations in lieu of page ranges. The new page numbering consists of the year, issue number, and article number.
Authors and readers are requested to adopt this citation format for all articles published from this issue onward.
