Hey guys,

Today there was a reminder to medical students to make sure that CV is fact check-able. They emphasized distinguishing between electronic publications for online journals only and then manuscript publications. My question: Is the below citation fine for a journal that is only online? Also why is the date different for the DOI than the first date?

1. Parker RP, Peter RA, Kibbel EM: Variant of Cancer Phenotypes – Case Report. J Pathology 19:280-203, July 2001 (epub August 1, 2001; DOI:10.111/j.1232-6432.2001.04323).

What do you mean electronic versus manuscript? Are you saying one is PubMed searchable and the other isn't? If it is PubMed searchable, include a PMID number. If not, that what you have would be fine. If you are talking about PubMed indexed online journals only, i.e. like PLoS ONE, I would still include the PMID, but otherwise the distinction between electronic only versus printed for PubMed indexed journals is meaningless.

As far as DOIs, those numbers don't include s date, they are just unique digital identifiers. DOI are almost always assigned before any publication date, electronic or otherwise. Are you talking about the EPub date? That one I can't explain. If there are 2 dates associated with a publication, the first date is usually the ePub date, i.e. the date you can view it online and the later date is the date it by printed, usually associated with volume and page numbers. Do you have those backwards? Alternatively was the ePub date 2000, not 2001 , since acceptance to print can take up to a year?
