Early View Policy

Accepted articles are published in the Early View section before a volume and issue number is assigned. Early View articles are the Version of Record and can be cited.

1. DOI Assignment: A persistent Crossref DOI is assigned the moment the article is published as Early View. This DOI does not change when volume/issue information is later added.

2. CrossMark: All Early View articles carry a CrossMark deposit — readers are immediately notified of any correction or retraction.

3. Licence: CC BY-NC 4.0 takes effect immediately. Authors retain copyright.

4. Volume/Issue Assignment: After production is complete (~30 days), the article receives a volume and issue number. The DOI does not change; pagination and metadata are updated.

5. Citation Format: During the Early View phase, citations use: Author(s). Year. Title. ISPEC Journal of Agricultural Sciences. DOI. Early View.

Early View minimises the gap between acceptance and publication and ensures early access to research. The annual publication schedule is maintained in March-June-September-December.
