Hi folks
Just a quick question, I'm expecting to submit my thesis quite soon, and have been looking at very recently published articles that support what i'm doing.
I'm wanting to reference these articles, although a number are published on pubmed before they are in hard copy, and therefore don't have page numbers etc. On pubmed, these simply say epub ahead of print, how do I allow for this in my thesis?. At the moment I've simply put epub ahead of print as well.
All responses welcome

Once I had a similar problem and found this explanation on the webpage of the journal corresponding to the paper I wanted to cite:
How do I cite papers that appear in Advance Access?
Papers published in Advance Access are citeable using the DOI and publication date. An example of an Advance Access citation is given below:
Gilad, Y. and Lancet, D. Population Differences in the Human Functional Olfactory Repertoire. Mol. Biol. Evol. Advance Access published March 5, 2003, doi:10.1093/molbev/msg013
The same paper in its final form would be cited:
Gilad, Y. and Lancet, D. Population Differences in the Human Functional Olfactory Repertoire. Mol Biol Evol 2003; 20: 307-314. First published March 5, 2003, doi:10.1093/molbev/msg013
