What are European Heart Journal Advance Access?
European Heart Journal Advance Access enable us to publish papers online soon after they have been accepted for publication and well ahead of their appearance in the printed journal, thus greatly reducing publication times.
New papers are put into European Heart Journal Advance Access at regular intervals and are then taken off the European Heart Journal Advance Access page once they have been copyedited, formatted, and paginated, at which point the issue into which they are incorporated will be posted online. It is therefore possible for the European Heart Journal Advance Access page to be empty if all the available papers have just been incorporated into an issue.
European Heart Journal Advance Access versions of papers that have been incorporated into issues will continue to be available online via the paper's Abstract or Full Text pages, versioning only.
European Heart Journal Advance Access papers are fully integrated into the journal's online system. Abstracts, titles and full text are searchable and accessible within the journal's web pages, the entire HighWire archive, and PubMed.
When does a paper count as published?
Appearance in European Heart Journal Advance Access constitutes publication and establishes publication precedence. The official publication date appears beneath the title of each manuscript just before its Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
What is a 'DOI'?
A 'Digital Object Identifier' is an automatically generated unique identifier for intellectual property in the digital environment ('10.1093/eurheartj/msg085' is an example of a DOI). The DOI is attached to the item once it is accepted for publication and remains the same even if different versions of recognisably the same item appear successively. It appears on every version of the manuscript, including the final versions in print and online, and reprints. DOIs facilitate online searches for particular papers.
