Scopus API showing articles from the future

I'm using Scopus API to extract information about academic papers. However, it's showing something very strange. According to Scopus, many articles are published in the future → see the screenshot. The example shown here was actually published on 5.01.18 according to Springer. Is this an error/bug or have I misunderstood something?

Article from future

Solution

  • The article was brought online on January 5th 2018 as shown in your Springer link.

    But it will be officially published in Journal of Economic Structures 7:1, which will be published in December 2018.
