Article Number InformationPhysical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research (PRST-PER) identifies articles by volume number and a six-digit article ID (instead of volume and page number), for example, Phys. Rev. ST Phys. Educ. Res. 1, 010103 (2005). The article ID's are constructed so as to allow them to be assigned at the time of publication while keeping the articles within each issue ordered by subject heading. The articles are listed in the Table of Contents according to increasing article ID and can therefore be located in the usual manner. Note that pages are numbered consecutively within each article, e.g., 010103-1, 010103-2,..., however, the hyphen and additional digits should not be used when citing or searching for the article. The six digits in the article ID are currently derived as follows: The first two digits correspond to the issue number, the next two are determined by article type (see below for type number assignments), and the last two are assigned according to the order of publication of the article, within that issue and subject area. This algorithm facilitates article-at-a-time publishing while maintaining the familiar delineations of volume, issue, and subject. Article Type NumbersRegular Articles 01 |
