7. How can one cite articles published online in SpringerOpen 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 SpringerOpen journals are cited in the form:
Journal name Publication Year, Volume:Article number
For example:
Boundary Value Problems 2012, 2012:99
AMB Express 2012, 2:48
Nanoscale Research Letters 2012, 7:505
PDFs of these articles have numbered pages, but the numbers are not part of the citation.
