» Latest developments in your journal: APJPH
Published 01/19/2010
Now you can read journal articles as soon as they have been accepted by the editor. SAGE Online First is featured on the homepage of APJPH through SAGE Journals Online. It allows finalized articles (completed articles in queue for assignment to an upcoming issue) to be hosted online prior to their inclusion in a final APJPH print and online issue. This feature is commonly referred to as publish ahead of print. SAGE Online First provides clear benefits to all researchers and users of APJPH online content. This feature allows subscribers and members the ability to access the very latest papers in the field. Authors also benefit from greatly reduced lead times between submission and publication of articles. Without Online First, an authors' work would only appear online once a finalized APJPH issue was sent to print. However, with Online First, APJPH manuscripts can appear online while other articles are being completed for an upcoming issue. An author's research will therefore reach its audience more quickly enabling an article to receive greater usage and exposure, including earlier citation opportunities by related work, increasing APJPH citations. Online first articles may not be in their final format. The editors may choose to edit the English language further, but once published online the data and the scientific conclusions in the article will not be changed. You can read and cite online articles just like articles published in a regular journal issue. How can online first articles be cited?
Each article published in the APJPH has a specific number, called the Digital Object Identifier (DOI). The doi (number) for the Online First version and the final printed version is the same. If you are citing an Online First article you should include the date that the article first appeared online and the DOI. The citation format used for online articles is: Low WY., Binns C.W. A sad end to the first decade of the new century. Asia Pac J Public Health. Published Online First Jan 10 2010. Doi 12.345.678
