The American Psychological Association (APA) has announced the immediate availability of Online First Publication (OFP) for APA-published journal articles in the PsycARTICLES database. Articles accepted for publication will now be available in electronic format prior to the print publication, expediting access to the latest peer-reviewed research.
All PsycARTICLES institutional customers, individual APA PsycNET database package subscribers, and individual journal subscribers may now search these records as an added benefit. OFP records can be released within 30 days of acceptance and transfer into production, and are marked to indicate the posting status, allowing researchers to quickly and easily discover the latest literature. Online First will be the version of record; the articles have gone through the full production cycle except for assignment to an issue and pagination. After a journal issue's print publication, OFP records will be replaced with the published record to reflect the final status and bibliographic information.
Advance release of these articles is in line with APA's mission to expand the communication of 'psychological knowledge to benefit society and improve people's lives'. The initiative is also a major upgrade to PsycARTICLES, which claims to be the largest full-text journal database in psychology with nearly 150,000 articles from 1894 to the present. All APA-published journals are available electronically through PsycARTICLES.
