What exactly is Article-in-Press?

The Article-in-Press service lets users access peer reviewed articles well before print publication. These articles cannot be searchable since they do not have their DOI (Digital Object Identifier).

Can I still make corrections to my article after it has been published Article-in-Press?

The online publication represents the official publication of research results. As soon as an article is published online, it can be viewed and downloaded. If changes are then made, confusion can easily arise with authors citing different versions of the same publication. SIGMA has therefore decided not to make systematic use of the technical possibilities that an online publication offers and not to simply replace a published document with an updated one.

How can I share my full article, e.g. on social media?

Authors have the right to disseminate their article's eOffprint (as a printout or by email) to their co-authors and research colleagues. It is also allowed to distribute the eOffprint via a webpage.

How can I request permission to re-use material?
