Forthcoming (Early Access) Articles - New feature lunched
Plant Science Today journal has launched a new feature "Forthcoming articles or Early Access articles" where the accepted manuscripts are published immediately after layout and proofreading without waiting for an issue date.
The DOI number will be the same for early access articles and when it is added to an issue. This means, when an article is published as an early access article, it will be assigned a DOI number. When a new issue is published (PST has 4 issues in a year), the already published early access article will be shifted to the new issue, but the DOI number remains the same.
Download statistics of the Early access article will be carried forward when it is added to an issue. This means you will not loose any download or even abstract view statistics from your early access version of your article.
Article version number changes. When the early access article is shifted to an issue, it will be assigned a new version and it will be displayed on the journal web page. But this will not affect the PDF copy of your article, which remains the same.
