Article Number Information
Beginning with Volume 60, Issue 1 (July 1999), Physical Review C
is published electronically one article at a time.
Such articles are identified by volume number and a six-digit article
number (instead of volume and page number), for example, Phys. Rev. C 60,
015809 (1999). This format allows articles to be fully citable as
soon as they are published electronically, while maintaining the same identifier
for both the electronic and print version.
The articles are listed in the Table of Contents and appear in the printed
issue according to increasing article number and can therefore be located
in the usual manner. Articles can also be located by volume and article
number using the Volume/Article lookup.
Note that pages are numbered consecutively within each article, e.g.,
015809-1, 015809-2,...; however, the hyphen and additional digits should
not be used when citing or searching for the article.
The six digits in the article number are currently derived as follows:
The first two digits correspond to the issue number, the next two are determined
by article type and subject (see below for type and
subject number assignments), and the last two are assigned according
to the order of publication of the article, within that issue and subject
area. This algorithm facilitates the shift to article-at-a-time
publishing while maintaining the familiar delineations of volume, issue,
and subject.
