Where can I see the publication date of the paper?

After you get the periodical, open the first page, which is on the copyright page with the date clearly printed on it.

No matter when the author submits the paper, when he gets the employment notice, when he gets the sample published, and when the paper is included in HowNet, it is not the publication time of the paper. Only the date printed on the copyright page is the true and accurate publication time of the paper.

In the future, it is best to check the time, or to prove the title, which shall prevail. Other time nodes may be very important in the process of paper publication, but they cannot be regarded as the real time of paper publication.

Because journals that are not included in HowNet are not necessarily regular journals, as long as they are included in HowNet, they must be regular journals. Journals not included in HowNet can be ordinary journals.

Journals that are not included in HowNet may be irregular periodicals. Journals not included in HowNet may be fake. HowNet is strictly audited, and those that fail to pass HowNet cannot be said to be problematic journals. However, as long as it can be included in HowNet, it must be a regular periodical.

Generally speaking, the publishing cycle of periodicals is relatively fixed. For example, monthly magazines are published once a month and bimonthly magazines are published every other month. The publication period is relatively fixed, but the specific publication date is not particularly fixed. It can only be said that the approximate time is fixed, and the date will change every holiday or some special circumstances.
