You know, the first paper has not been published in the journal, because the paper version of the journal has not been published yet. Periodicals are often published as a whole, which requires editing and typesetting by the editorial department, proofreading by the author and printing by the printing factory, which leads to a long time for the paper version to be published.

If the paper has been confirmed to be employed by the editorial department at this time and meets the publishing requirements, the editorial department will publish the paper online first, that is, the first paper will be published online (HowNet can view it), so that the paper can be found online but not published in the journal.

The first notice about the network

Papers should be published online and then printed in paper journals before they can be used. Because online submission is now the most convenient way for authors and magazines.

Especially in the evaluation of professional titles, the requirement of publishing papers is not limited to publishing papers. We often say that the success of publishing a paper means that the article was not only published, but also included in the corresponding database. Seeing publication is the most basic requirement for evaluating the publication of a paper topic, but not seeing publication can not prove the success of the article publication anyway.
