The Lab’s Quarterly is pleased to announce a new service for our readers and authors: Online First.
The Online First service means the immediate online publication of all accepted papers soon after authors have returned the corrected proofs. This signifies a reduction in publication time. It will no longer be necessary for articles to wait until the “next issue”.
Online First articles are searchable and citable by their DOI (Digital Object Identifier)
