At the beginning of 2020, Punk & Post-Punk was selected by our publisher, Intellect, to trial a new Fast Track system for online publishing of articles in advance of final inclusion in an issue of the journal. The first four Fast Track articles were published online in February 2020, and are due to be included in the forthcoming issue 9.2 (June 2020):
