Family Tree DNA does not have information on the progress or publication date of a study in advance. While some studies may be completed and published within weeks after results are contributed, most studies take months or over a year to complete. In some cases, if another study is published that goes beyond the scope of the study currently in progress, a study will be discontinued before publication. Even when a study is complete and accepted by a publisher the researcher sometimes will not know when it will be published until it is actually published.
