Academic and professional literature publisher Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., UK, has launched Emerald EarlyCite, a new online pre-publication service allowing quicker access to research. EarlyCite articles are fully peer-reviewed and made available online before they undergo the full sub-editing and page-proofing stages.
Each paper is assigned to a journal issue and can therefore be referenced. An asset for both authors and users, these papers are available at least three months earlier than those following a traditional publication process. Articles published in journals with significant publication queues will be made available to readers by as much as 12 months in advance. Once the final copy of the article is ready for publication, it replaces the EarlyCite version.
At present, 55 journals are expected to publish articles from forthcoming issues through EarlyCite. The rest of the 200 Emerald journal collection will be rolled out over the coming months. Emerald EarlyCite is fully accessible to Emerald journal and database subscribers.
