Thank you indeed for suggestions.

I'm in the field of business studies, I've seen scholars cite forthcoming in my field. Yes you right, different area of studies have diverse approach forthcoming vs upcoming.

@Mark_B They are two distinct articles using different empirical evidence employing the same conceptual framework (paraphrasing and more in-depth investigation). Yes, I think is the best way to cite the article as you mentioned.

Thank you and have a good day.

Hello everybody,

I would like to ask you some advice concerning academic articles accepted for publication, as follows:

- I have to ask to the Journal's editor if I can cite my journal article accepted for publication.

- In the forthcoming article reference, I have to indicate the date that the editor gave to me, which a tentative schedule. But it is not sure yet when will be published.

- Why you have to give the copyright to the journal in proximity to the publication rather than before when the article was accepted. Is there any reason?

- What is the best way to communicate a forthcoming article.

Thank you very much in advance for help.
