Ahead of Print Info


What is Ahead of Print?
Ahead of print is a feature offered through the Macedonian Veterinary Review electronic web site (www.macvetrev.mk).  It enables finaly revised articles to appear online soon after their acceptance for publication, prior to their inclusion in the printed volume or issue. This feature is referred to as publish ahead of print, publish before print and continuous publishing. Access to full - text Ahead of Print articles is available through our journal’s web.
Articles are in final PDF format apart from pagination, i.e. they have been accepted for publication. The Ahead of Print release date serves as the official publication date.

Citations to Ahead of Print articles 
Each Ahead of Print article is citeable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI), obtained by Sciendo. Each "Mac Vet Rev" article DOI is registered with CrossRef (www.crossref.org) allowing permanent resolution to each article and giving publishers the ability to link their references to articles whenever they are cited. 
The publication date is provided in the citation line associated with the article. All versions of the article will remain available electronically on the site and will be clearly identified by date. 
Every Ahead of Print article should be cited as follows:


Khalifa T, Rekkas C., Samartzi F., Lymberopoulos A., Kousenidis K., Dovenski T. Highlights on artificial insemination (AI) technology in the pigs. Mac Vet Rev 2014; 37 (1):http://dx.doi.org/10.14432/j.macvetrev.2013.09.001


After the article is assigned to a specific issue, new citations can be made using volume and page number information, while still using the same DOI number.
