Nat Clin Pract Endocrinol Metab, advance online publication, day month year [doi:10.1038/ncpendmetxxxx]". Once the print version (identical to the AOP) is published, it should be cited as follows: "Authorname A et al. (year) Title of article. Nat Clin Pract Endocrinol Metab Vol: xxx–xxx, advance online publication, [doi:10.1038/ncpendmetxxxx]".
