This is a set of guidelines governing the online publication of an article after the peer-review process is complete, but before the print issue or official volume/issue information is provided.

Aim

-To present research results to the scientific community without delay

-To enable authors to receive citations early

-To increase the speed of information dissemination

Status of Article Published in Early View

This is a peer-reviewed and accepted article.

The final content is considered scientifically sound.

Only:

-Page number

-Volume/issue information

-Sometimes minor typesetting details

are not yet finalized.

DOI and Citation Guidelines

The article is assigned a DOI.

Citations are made as follows:

-Author(s)

-Article title

-Journal name

-“Early View” / “Online First”

The DOI does not change; it remains valid even when the article is published in print.

Correction and Change Policy

In the early version of the article:

Major content changes cannot be made.

If there is an error:

-Erratum

-Corrigendum

-Retraction

Formal methods such as these are followed.

Copyright and Open Access

Copyright applies as defined at the acceptance stage.

For open access journals:

-The license (e.g., CC BY-NC 4.0) remains in effect even at the early view stage.

For closed access:

-Institutional or individual access is required.

Transition to Print Editions

The article is then:

-Assigned to a volume and issue number

-Page numbers are added

The content remains the same, only the bibliographic information is updated.
