About AOP
Until print versions of AOP papers are published, they should be cited in the style "Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology AOP, published online day month year; doi:10.1038/nrmXXX". Once the print version (identical to the AOP) is published, it should be cited as follows: "Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology volume number, page range (year); doi:10.1038/nrmXXX".
