ACS Introduces “Just Accepted” Manuscripts, a New Pilot Program
Text below is from ACS LiveWire Vol. 10, Issue 2: February 2009
As a service to the scientific research community and in keeping with our commitment to the rapid dissemination of scientific information, ACS Publications has introduced a pilot program in which authors publishing in four select journals may choose to publish “Just Accepted” manuscripts within 3 days of acceptance.
Authors publishing new research in ACS Chemical Biology, Biochemistry, Journal of Proteome Research, and Molecular Pharmaceutics may elect to have their accepted, unredacted manuscript published online as a “Just Accepted” manuscript. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full as PDF documents accompanied by an HTML abstract and are accessible to all readers.
Biochemistry Editor Richard N. Armstrong says, “The ‘Just Accepted’ program moves a paper into the public domain as rapidly as possible. That’s particularly useful for grant applicants, who can cite these papers as being already published.”
Dissemination of these accepted, unedited manuscripts provides earlier access to the most up-to-date research in a fully citable format using a Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). The “Just Accepted” manuscript will be replaced with the ASAP or issue version of the article posted online. All versions of the article retain the same DOI to ensure that citations to “Just Accepted” manuscripts link to the final scientific article of record when it becomes available.
Additional information on “Just Accepted” manuscripts can be found on the ACS Publications Just Accepted Manuscripts FAQ website.
