Continuous Article Publishing (CAP) is a publishing model for E-only journals. Main The main difference with existing models is that final articles are not published online ahead of a forthcoming issue (the Brill Advance option) but are immediately published online at their final location. Since registration of, loading of and access to journal content at Brill is volume and issue based, the implementation of CAP using the current procedures and possibilities, requires some special treatment. This is described in this document.

As mentioned in the definition, the latest article should appear at the top of the table of contents. To ensure this, a separate meta-issue.xml - file is necessary, listing the DOI's of the articles in the volume in in the correct order. The structure of the meta_issue.xml file is explained hereafter.
...
Each article follows, after acceptance, the regular process. Proofing versions are shared with the author(s) and editor(s). After implementing the corrections, final files are requested from the typesetter. The main difference is in the naming of the files. The article number is replacing the issue number. Instead of a two-digit issue number, a three-digit article-number is used. Thus, a maximum of 999 articles in a volume is possible. Filenames:
...
Each zip-package contains besides the regular xmlXML, pdf PDF and - if applicable - image files an additional meta_issue.xml file. The The zip-package can be handed over to Production for loading to brill.com.
...
As mentioned before, the order of the articles can be set by listing the DOI's of each article in a meta_isssue.xml file. Format The format of this file is shown in the next example.
...
- volume and issue number is according to the information in Klopotek and in the xml-files to the XML file of the articles in the volume and issue
- DOI's are copied from the articles and listed in the right order, newest first. , oldest and the end
- For each new article, a new meta_issue.xml must be created, based on the previous one. The DOI listed under Latest Article should be moved to the top of the listing under Articles. The DOI of the new article should be listed under Latest Articles.
Implementing this procedure in the 2024 volume
The Previous previous procedure was based on on a decreasing numbering of articles starting with 999, 998 etc. The naming convention described above can be implemented by assigning 001 as the article number of the next article. The only important thing is to add a complete meta_issue.xml file to this first article package, listing all DOI's of the articles that have been published already in the 2024 volume.
...
- the article number is incremental across all issues within a volume. The maximum number of articles for each volume is 999. The article number is independent of the issue in which it is published.
- the issue number is defined in the xml. if the issue has a specific title, the <issue-title>-element must be included in the xml XML as well.
- each issue has its own meta_issue.xml file with the contents (and order) of the issue. A new meta_issue.xml file should be included in the zip-package of each new article.
