To make research available more quickly than traditional publishing allows, Diabetes Care publishes articles online ahead of print weeks before the print/online issue becomes available.
Effective November 10, 2011, articles online ahead of print will have been copyedited, typeset, and author approved prior to posting.
Articles posted online ahead of print are citable by unique DOI (digital object identifier) assigned to each article. DOI should be used in place of issue, volume, page range, and year of publication.
If you are interested in commenting on one of these articles, the editors ask that you wait until the final version has appeared in print before submitting your commentary or letter to the editor. Information on the embargo policy for prepublished Diabetes Care articles can be found here.
