Focus: Establishing the journal and its editorial, technical and publishing workflows while releasing the first three issues.

• 10 submissions received
• 10 articles published across 3 issues
• 16 unique published authors
• 2 countries represented in available author metadata
• 10 of 10 published articles with a DOI

Publication profile: Four reviews, three letters and communications, two case reports and one contribution in the Specials section.

Assessment: The first publications established a permanent scholarly record and demonstrated that a Diamond Open Access model could operate without submission or article processing charges. The limited volume and geographically concentrated author base reflect the start-up phase.

Focus: Continued growth, broader participation and internationalisation.

• 40 articles published across 12 issues
• 133 unique published authors

Year-on-year development: Compared with 2024, published output increased by 38%, submissions by 70% and unique authors represented in published articles by 46%.

Publication profile: Twenty-four case reports, ten research articles, three reviews, two letters and communications and one contribution in the Specials section.

Assessment: Available metadata shows participation from 16 countries, compared with six in 2024. This indicates a substantially broader international contributor base and reinforces the need for complete country, affiliation and ORCID metadata.

Main finding: Structured OJS records show sustained growth from the partial inaugural year in 2023 to a broader and increasingly international publication programme in 2024 and 2025.

• 79 articles published from 2023 to 2025
• 221 unique published authors across the period
• 17 countries represented in available author metadata
• 79 of 79 published articles with a DOI

Interpretation: Publication and submission totals describe activity within each calendar year; they are not cohort conversion rates because submission and publication can occur in different years.

Limitations: Historical OJS records were insufficient for reliable annual reviewer counts, review-completion rates or review-duration statistics. Comparable annual usage data for abstract views and file downloads were also unavailable, so these measures were not inferred.

Next priorities: Consistent recording of review activity; complete country, affiliation, ORCID and ROR metadata; preservation of annual OJS exports and calculation protocols; and inclusion of comparable usage and transparency indicators when validated data are available.
