What are Articles in Press?
Last updated on May 18, 2026
Articles in Press are documents that have been accepted for publication, but have not yet been assigned to a journal issue. They are indicated by the Articles in Press symbol on document pages and in search result lists.
Scopus makes the pre-published versions of documents available online within four days after being transferred from publishers.
Note: Corrections to Articles in Press cannot be made because they are not yet published. Scopus can only correct a document if the data on Scopus deviates from the original published article. For more information see page 22 of the Scopus Content Coverage Guide.
Once the final version is published and made available, Scopus will overwrite the Article in Press in the database with the final version.
You can view Articles in Press for a Scopus source from the Source Information page.
