Online First is a feature that enables the publication of final revised articles online before their inclusion in a printed issue. This accelerates the dissemination of research findings and ensures that your authors' work reaches the audience promptly.

Articles published through Online First are assigned a DOI upon their online posting. They should be cited as follows:

Author(s). Title of the article. Exercise and Quality of Life. Advance online publication. DOI:10.31382/xxxx

After assignment to a final issue, citations can include the volume and page numbers in addition to the DOI.

Once articles are allocated to a specific issue, their hosting transitions from the Online First page to the main journal archive. The DOI ensures persistent accessibility.

Citations to Online First articles are counted toward the journal's Impact Factor if other indexing criteria are met. This promotes earlier engagement with the published work.

Online First articles represent the final published version of the manuscript and may be cited using their DOI. Once assigned to a regular issue, the volume, issue, and page information are added to the citation while the DOI remains unchanged. Minor production errors identified after Online First publication may be corrected in accordance with the journal’s publication policy before assignment to a regular issue.
