I'm very concerned with the credibility of that source based on this alone. Unpublished and/or future-dated articles are to be taken with a pile of salt.
- asah 5y agomolten salt? ;-)
- patall 5y agoWhat you are seeing is the online preview, August 2021 is when it appears in print. This kind of publishing is becoming more and more common, most likely to boost the journals impact factor (average number of citation within 2 years of publication). It's sketchy but doesn't say much about the article, only the journal.
- epistasis 5y agoNothing sketchy about the journal either. The next issue may come out in August due to the publication schedule and article queue. But there's no reason to delay availability of the article after it's addressed all the reviewer and editorial concerns.
