History[edit]

The editorial board includes members from various countries with different academic background.
The first issue of JRFM was published on November 15, 2015.[4] Since then, the journal appears twice a year, on May 15 and November 15.
The journal is supported by Graz University, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich, Villanova University, and the Austrian state of Styria. The online edition is hosted by the University Library Graz. Schüren Verlag (Marburg, Germany) provides support and publishes the Print on Demand version of the journal.
