Now with E-first there is no reason to wait for printed issues or the completion of an issue of The European Physical Journal - Applied Physics.

Using DOIs, articles are available on line as soon as they have been proofread by the author. On E-first the articles are published in their final form. E-first is not a pre-print service, articles are peer-reviewed and author corrected.

In consequence:

• e-form = final form


• faster publication


• proper citation via DOIs
