7. How can one cite articles published online in Chemistry Central journals?
To ensure accurate citation tracking, articles are cited in a way that closely reflects traditional citation. However, since many articles are not printed, basing citation on page numbers is not appropriate. Instead, almost all online-only articles in journals published by Chemistry Central are cited in the form:
Journal name Publication Year, Volume:Article number
For example:
Chemistry Central Journal 2010, 5:43
Geochemical Transactions 2006, 7:2
Journal of Cheminformatics 2009, 1:17
PDFs of these articles have numbered pages, but the numbers are not part of the citation.
