In a rapidly changing world, where information flows in real-time and immediate access to knowledge is indispensable, continuous publication emerges as a beacon of innovation within the realm of science. In this editorial note, we celebrate the introduction of continuous publication in the Journal of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science at the National University of Colombia, a model that revolutionizes the way scientific knowledge is disseminated.

Continuous publishing extends beyond mere alterations in content publication; it embodies a steadfast commitment to agility, accessibility, and perpetual enhancement. Our Journal ardently embraces this approach with the intent of reducing the time between article approval and publication. This groundbreaking model is designed to benefit authors, enabling them to swiftly share their research with the academic community and the general public, while extending the visibility of their work.

The transition towards continuous publishing also mirrors our unwavering dedication to the ongoing refinement of editorial processes. To this end, we invest in both human and technical resources, incorporating the latest technologies, and upholding the highest ethical standards in scientific publishing to uphold the integrity of our Journal in a contemporary context. This transformation means not only a milestone in the evolution of the Journal, but also presents an exhilarating challenge. In light of the constant evolution in information and communication technologies, we remain committed to addressing the technological and ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. This requires the implementation of dynamic processes in the production, management, visibility, and impact of knowledge, all grounded in a steadfast commitment to quality and continuous improvement.

Continuous publication also prompts reflection on the role of scientific journals in current society. These are no longer merely channels of communication among a select group of academics within specific fields; they have evolved into powerful tools for disseminating scientific knowledge, bearing a profound social responsibility to reach a broader audience, stimulate extensive discourse, and facilitate open access to knowledge in an increasingly globalized world.

This model, in addition to meeting the demands of an ever-changing world, reinforces our dedication to excellence, ethics, and the dissemination of scientific knowledge. In this regard, we endeavor to modernize our dissemination strategies, encompassing social network promotion and collaboration with media outlets to heighten awareness of the significance of research in these fields. We hope that this effort will translate into a more significant impact in addressing challenges related to animal health and production.

In summary, the transition to continuous publication and the modernization of our dissemination strategies represent essential strides in maintaining the Journal of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science at the National University of Colombia at the forefront of scientific research. These advancements will not only benefit the academic community but society as a whole. We earnestly invite you to embrace these changes and join us in ensuring a promising future for scientific publishing at our University.
