Article Number
PRC is published electronically one article at a time. Articles are identified by volume number and a six-digit article number (instead of volume and page number), for example, Phys. Rev. C 60, 015809 (1999). This format allows articles to be fully citable as soon as they are published electronically, while maintaining the same identifier for both the electronic and print version.
