How long between acceptance, proofs, and online publication?

S

Just wondering how long you've normally had to wait between a paper being accepted and being given the proofs, and it finally being made available online (in my area usually as soon as they're complete they're available online, even though they're not officially 'published' in an issue yet).

Still waiting on one from 2 months ago - on manuscript central it's been showing 'awaiting production checklist' for most of this time.

I think I waited less than 2 months for my last one from acceptance to online availability...

Mine was online less than a week after acceptance, and before the actual proofs were available. The proofs came about 2 weeks later I think.

I would email the editors if I were you.

Also depends on journal.

S

Eek, surely they shouldn't post online before it's proofed and approved?!

I expect to wait a couple of weeks to a month, but can't see what the reason is for taking over 2 months just to get a copyeditor to take a look?

I've emailed the administrator to check everything's okay, waiting to hear back.
