Citation Format [Vols. 122 & 123 (2005)]
Beginning with Vol. 122, Issue 1 (1 January 2005), Applied Physics Review (APR) will transition from traditional page numbers to six-digit citation identifiers (CIDs). At the same time, APR will begin publishing issues online in an article-at-a-time publication mode. The CID chosen for Applied Physics Review is similar to that used by Physical Review. Use of CIDs in place of traditional page numbers allows an issue to build online one article at a time while retaining the ability to segment tables of contents by article type or subject area; this accelerates online publication of individual articles, which are published online individually as soon as author proof corrections are incorporated. Utilization of CIDs also allows articles to be fully citable as soon as they are published online, using the same identifier for both online and print versions.
The structure of the six-digit citation identifier for APR is defined as follows:
|
|
indicate the issue number |
|
|
indicate the article type and/or subject area (as defined below) |
|
|
assigned according to publication order, within that issue and section |
Definitions of this journal's current article type and subject area code numbers (the middle two digits of the CID) appear in the table below:
| Code | Section Heading |
| 11 | COMMUNICATIONS |
| 21–22 | SPECIAL TOPIC: RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY: ORBITAL DEPENDENT FUNCTIONALS |
| ARTICLES | |
| 41 | Theoretical Methods and Algorithms |
| 43 | Gas Phase Dynamics and Structure: Spectroscopy, Molecular Interactions, Scattering, and Photochemistry |
| 45 | Condensed Phase Dynamics, Structure, and Thermodynamics: Spectroscopy, Reactions, and Relaxation |
| 47 | Surfaces, Interfaces, and Materials |
| 49 | Polymers, Biopolymers, and Complex Systems |
| LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | |
| 61 | Notes |
| 71 | Comments |
| 99 | Errata |
The format for citing articles published in Applied Physics Review is only marginally changed, with the six-digit CID appearing in the place traditionally filled by a page number. An example of the correct citation format for APR is:
- A. Smith and B. Jones, J. Chem. Phys. 122, 024703 (2005).
In this fictitious example, the article by Smith and Jones was published in JCP in Issue 2 of Volume 122, as the third article published in the section, "Surfaces, Interfaces, and Materials."
In the full-text PDF file available online and in the printed article, the CID appears on each printed page. Appended at the end of the CID is a hyphen followed by a consecutive page number. For the sample article above, the printed pages would carry this page numbering: 024703-1, 024703-2, 024703-3, etc. The hyphen and additional digits should not be used when citing or searching for an article.
