Papers in Press

Please note that THIS PAGE IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED. Papers accepted after 12 June 2009 will not be listed here. IJSEM has launched an improved publish-ahead-of-print system, IJSEM Papers in Press. Accepted papers are being published in IJSEM Papers in Press over the coming weeks and the new page will then be updated weekly. This page will remain in place until all accepted papers have been published in the new system.

Last updated 1 July 2009

Below is a list of all papers that are currently in press (i.e. accepted, awaiting processing or awaiting proofing) for publication in IJSEM, the most recent appearing first. Please note that titles and content are liable to change during preparation for publication. Due to the principle of page priority, papers describing new taxa are copy-edited in the order of acceptance.
