Publisher's Note

摘要

Within the publishing industry, article numbering has emerged as an easy and efficient way to cite journal articles. Article numbering has already been successfully rolled out to Elsevier's multidisciplinary open access journal Heliyon, as well as more than 200 other journals, and has been well received by the academic community. Based on that positive feedback, we are now pleased to introduce article numbering to Journal of Co-operative Organization and Management from volume 7/2. A unique article number is an abbreviated form of an article's DOI -digital object identifier. Citing an article with an article number is very simple: the article number is used instead of the page range in the citation. Style 5 - APA Van der Geer, J., Hanraads, J. A. J., & Lupton, R. A. (2018). The art of writing a scientific article. Heliyon, 19, 100205. https://doi. org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2018.100205. While journal volumes and issue numbers will remain in place, article numbering will now play the key role in identifying specific articles. The introduction of article numbers brings several benefits for the journal and its readers and authors.
