In the June 28 issue of Nature, follow the link to the letter to the editor
by Michael Keller (Stanford University Librarian) and Stanley Prusiner
(UCSF, Nobel Laureate for his work on prion diseases) asserting the need
for publishers to acknowledge that the first date of publication in STEM is
generally the date of publication of the e-version, not the subsequent date
of the physical, ink-on-paper version, usually 6 to 12 months later.


This sets straight the confusion occasionally arising on the primacy of a
discovery.
