REPRINTS

Offprints and Reprints 

Accepted articles will be placed online and indexed in PubMed as "pre-press" articles shortly after acceptance. This process will occur before the author receives proofs.

The corresponding author will receive a pdf proof and is asked to check this proof carefully (the publisher will execute a cursory check only). Corrections other than printer's errors, however, should be avoided. Costs arising from such corrections will be charged to the authors.
