Notes on Data Compilation

• This report covers two distinct categories: (a) articles already published with a 2026 cover date/volume, and (b) projects reported as “ongoing” or “in press” with no finalized publication date.
• Ongoing projects lack a journal name and DOI in the source data; this is expected since they have not yet completed peer review or publication, and is noted rather than treated as missing data.
• The Community Medicine item “Burnout Syndrome among Resident Doctors” is accepted for publication (20 June 2026) but not yet formally published with volume/issue details; it is listed separately as Accepted / In Press.
