Welcome to CUAJ early releases 2011! The pattern of prostate cancer local recurrence after radiation and salvage cryoablation Quality of life and patient satisfaction after artificial urinary sphincter CUAJ has adopted an early release model, in which papers are published online in advance of their print publication. The print publication schedule remains the same: February, April, June, August, October, December; however, CUAJ is now posting new early release articles on its website (www.cuaj.ca) every other month (January, March, May, July, September, November). CUAJ early releases articles only apply to research articles; these papers will be posted on the website under the “Early Release” section. These early release articles are peer-reviewed, accepted, edited and formatting just like print articles, except for the fact that they are released online before they are published in print and do not have a volume/issue/page number. Only the digital object identifier (DOI) is used as an identifier for the article (i.e., DOI:10.5489/cuaj.09116). The “DOI:10.5489” is the journal identifier and the “cuaj.09116” is the identifier associated with a particular article. Each CUAJ article carries a DOI, which serves as its unique electronic identification tag. As soon as an article is published in a print issue, it will be removed from the Early Release section of the website, assigned a page number and transferred to that issue's table of contents on the website. The DOI remains attached to the paper to provide a persistent identifier. For convenience, the PDF version of every early release article is given a temporary pagination – with each article beginning on page 1. This pagination, however, is unrelated to the final pagination of the print article and should not be used for citation purposes. The CUAJ Editorial Board strongly believes that rapid online publication is a valuable service to readers and authors, and we encourage you to visit the CUAJ website often at www.cuaj.ca. |
