Publishing an Article as Early View
Publishing an accepted article on the journal page without placing it in an issue, and adding it to an issue later.
With early view, an accepted article is published on the journal page without being placed in an issue. When you later add the article to an issue, it leaves early view automatically. The journal of the article must be published.
Early view from production
- On the Editorial → Production screen, open the job of the article.
- On the Release settings card, leave the Journal issue field empty.
- Tick the Publish as early view box.
- Press the Save button of the card.
- Release the article.
The steps for releasing are in Releasing a Work.
Early view from the catalogue
- Open the catalogue record of the article.
- In the Placement section, select the journal of the article in the Journal field. Leave the Issue field empty.
- Tick the Early view: publish in this journal before placing it in an issue box.
- Save the record and publish it.
Publishing the record is described in Record Statuses and Publishing.
On the site
The article appears in the Early view section of the journal page. The page of the article shows the Early view label, and its source line gives the name of the journal.
When you add the article to an issue, the early view mark is removed automatically and the article leaves this section. An article placed neither in an issue nor in early view cannot be published, and the form says so with an error.
From early view to an issue
An article in early view is a published record, so it goes only into a published issue. Prepare the other articles of the issue and publish the issue, then add the early-view articles to it from the issue's page or from the Placement section of the article. When automatic DOI registration is on, the article's DOI metadata is sent again with the volume and number.
