When the final articles are available, they will be removed and the final version (Corrected proofs) will replace the Online first article versions.

  1. Online First Articles are peer-reviewed, accepted articles, copyedited, but un-corrected (uncorrected proofs) by authors for final versions. All Online First Articles will be labeled with Online First icon and marked as Un-correction proof. When the final articles are available, they will be removed and the final version (Corrected proofs) will replace the Online first article versions.
  2. Uncorrected proofs are articles that have been copy edited and formatted, but have not been finalized yet. They still need to be proof-read and corrected by the author(s) and the text could still change before final publication.
  3. Corrected proofs are articles that contain the authors’ corrections. Final citation details, e.g. volume and/or issue number, publication year and page numbers, still need to be added and the text might change before final publication.
