TEMA Journal is committed to publishing articles in the issue immediately after their acceptance through the double-blind review phase, in the form of a Just Accepted Article. This method, already practiced by numerous scientific journals, provides an additional and free service for Authors as well as the entire scientific community, as it significantly accelerates the dissemination of contributions with a fully citable DOI (Digital Object Identifier) compared to the longer publication times of complete issues.
To this end, following the Authors’ explicit request, the Editorial Board populates the Just Accepted page with the accepted articles that have successfully passed the review process.
Just Accepted articles are published, as received by the Author or in a pre-print version, in the form of PDF documents.
Each Just Accepted Article features a header, names of the authors, an abstract, and a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), with the watermark “Just Accepted” visible on each page. The DOI will also remain unchanged for the article published in the final issue.
Since they are not included in the final version, Just Accepted articles are removed from the TEMA Journal website at the time of the online publication of the definitive article.
After being published as Just Accepted, the article follows the standard production process (editorial revision, proofreading of the English language, layout, revision of the layout draft, online publication, and revision before printing of the issue).

Abstract
In Europe, the increasing demand for public education between the 1950s and 1960s prompted extensive school-building programs. The design of these new schools was supported by updated pedagogical theories, which inspired a rethinking of building layouts. From a technological point of view, intensive experimentation with prefabricated construction systems was carried out to meet emerging design concepts for school buildings, as well as to accelerate construction and reduce costs. Nowadays, late 20th-century school buildings have emerged as fragile architectural heritage, characterized by experimental technological solutions that require the development of customized preservation approaches. This contribution presents a philological digital platform to document and analyze exemplary late 20th-century school buildings: this platform aims to support the conception of a novel preservation strategy driven by the principles of the circular economy. The analysis is framed within the broader scenario of participatory practices for the experimental preservation of late 20th-century public building heritage.
