TL;DR: A James Clerk Maxwell Telescope/SCUBA-2 Transient Survey of Protostars in Nearby Star-forming Regions as discussed by the authors is the first dedicated survey for submillimeter variability and complements other transient surveys at optical and near-IR wavelengths.

TL;DR: A JCMT/SCUBA-2 Transient Survey of Protostars in Nearby Star Forming Regions as mentioned in this paper is the first dedicated survey for sub-mm variability and complements other transient surveys at optical and near IR wavelengths, which are not sensitive to accretion variability of deeply embedded protostars.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Starlink software for the JCMT Transient Survey (SCUBA-2) data collection and reduction and used the services of the Canadian Advanced Network for Astronomy Research (CANFAR), which in turn was supported by CANARIE, Compute Canada, University of Victoria, National Research Council of Canada and the Canadian Space Agency.

TL;DR: In this article, the first eighteen months of monthly sub-mm monitoring of eight star-forming regions in the JCMT Transient Survey was analyzed, and the authors found that the width of the distribution is dominated by the uncertainty in the individual brightness measurements of the sources.

TL;DR: The JCMT Transient Survey is a three-year project dedicated to studying the continuum variability of deeply embedded protostars in eight nearby star-forming regions at a one month cadence.
