Astrochemistry Publications in LIMBO

I sort the publications I post on The Astrochymist by the month in which they are formally published in a journal issue. Sometimes articles end up in limbo for an extended time. This is a particular problem with what I call "special issue limbo." While it is common now to have article collections that are spread out over multiple issues of a journal, some journals still accumulate articles until the issue is closed and published.

From time to time I search more broadly than my usual slate of 50+ journals where most astrochemistry articles are published. The Limbo page is a good place to cite articles in press in journals like JACS, J Phys Chem C, etc. so they will make it onto the main Publications page in due course.

This web page allows the community to access articles in limbo. When they are eventually published in a journal issue, they will be moved to the main publications page. The placeholder "x" indicates missing information about volume, article number/page range, and/or year.
