Med Glas (Zenica) publishes an “First online” version as a free service to authors to accelerate dissemination of scientific findings as soon as possible after acceptance following peer review and any necessary revisions. The “First online” manuscript appears online before copyediting, formatting/typesetting, and author proofreading, but is fully citable via its Digital Object Identifier (DOI). However, this “Ahead of print” version is NOT the final version of the manuscript. When the final, copyedited and fully paginated version is published in a definitive journal issue, it will be accessible through the same DOI and the “Ahead of print” version will be replaced.

There are three types of Articles in Press:

• Journal pre-proofs: versions of an article that have undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but are not yet definitive versions of record. These versions will undergo ​additional copyediting, typesetting and review before being published in final form, but are provided to give early visibility of the article. Please note that, during the production process, errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain.
• Uncorrected proofs: articles that have been copy edited and formatted, but have not been finalized yet. They still need to be proof-read and corrected by the author(s) and the text could still change before final publication.
• Corrected proofs: articles that contain the authors' corrections. Final citation details, e.g. volume and/or issue number, publication year and page numbers, still need to be added and the text might change before final publication.
