Clinical Diabetes Online
In order to make original research available faster than traditional print publishing allows, articles accepted for publication in Clinical Diabetes are published online ahead of print 5–6 weeks after acceptance, after copyediting, composition, and proofreading. Online Ahead of Print articles are citable by DOI. DOIs for ADA journals articles begin with 10.2337, followed by the article number assigned when the manuscript was submitted online via the manuscript submission system (e.g., 10.2337/cd17-1234).
Free Content. The full text of all articles (html view) is freely accessible online on the Clinical Diabetes website 6 months after the print publication date, and PDFs become freely accessible 12 months after the print publication date. In addition, the following are freely available online immediately upon publication:
- Diabetes Is Primary
- Editorials
- ADA-authored articles including ADA Position Statements and the annual Abridged Standards of Medical Care
- Quality Improvement Success Stories
- Patient Information
- ADA Award Lectures or Presidential Addresses
- Errata
The access icons found to the left of the article title on table of contents and search result views will indicate whether the article is freely available. An unlocked lock or green check mark mean the paper is available, and a green lock means it is currently accessible only with an active subscription.
