Geographical Research goes to ‘Early View’
We are very pleased to announce that, in cooperation with our publisher, Wiley-Blackwell, Geographical Research will now be available electronically, online, in ‘Early View’ (previously termed ‘Online Early’ but changed following the merger of Blackwell Synergy into Wiley InterScience).
Early View papers are produced individually or in small batches. Papers are dealt with in the usual way: submitted to editors, refereed, returned to authors for revision, revised papers are copy-edited by the editors and returned to authors for approval, often with further queries, and then forwarded to the publisher once authors and editors are satisfied. Proofs will be sent from the publisher to authors and the relevant editor as they are prepared individually or in small batches, and the editor will incorporate all the changes into the proof and send the corrections back to the publisher. Authors are asked to note that only errors may be corrected at the proof stage: this is not the time to rewrite the paper. Once the paper is finalised it is published online, and at that point the article is considered fully published and no further changes can be made. When it is time to collate the issue, papers will be paginated and published in print and in the issue table of contents online. If there is an error in a paper published in Early View it would need to be corrected with an erratum, just as if it had been published in a hard copy issue.
There are two main benefits for authors, as we see it. First, most papers will be published more quickly than at present. There will no longer be a lag between final acceptance and copy-editing, and publication; whereas at present this lag may extend over several months.
Second, authors’ papers receive two exposures: once when the article is placed in Early View, and second when it appears in the printed version. Early View papers are cited by their digital object identifier (doi) number: at that stage they will not have volume, issue or page numbers. In all other respects they are full publications.
