Articles that are considered “in press”, aka pre-print or Publish Ahead of Print, are not considered new content on this endpoint.
When the Third Iron Data Service API detects an article that was previous previously “in press” has been moved to an a formal issue by its publisher, that date is when the article is included in this “new content” endpointthe New Content Lookup.
Example: an article was first set as a Publish Ahead of Print article on August 15, 2022. Weeks later, on September 4, 2022, the article was moved to Volume 24 Issue 10 of the journal. When using the Third Iron Journal New Content Lookup, that article will appear when you use a date range that includes September 4, 2022.
Different journals have different patterns of publishingapproaches to publishing the existence of new articles, so the concept of “new content” can manifest in slightly different ways across different journals.
Although many some journals make a new issue available with all of its articles on the same day or within roughly a week, some other journals add articles to an issue over multiple weeks, or even months.
When a journal adds articles to an issue over multiple weeks or months, the issue date for new content may be significantly different from the articles within the issue. So an issue may have a date of December 2022, but its articles might have been added in September, October, November, and December of that year.
An older endpoint that is less helpful is still active. See documentation available for it here.
