That paper is particularly funny in that my PDF says "Published 24 Oct 2019" at 
the bottom of the first page! Given that this is an obvious error, there's hope 
that the "article history" in the sidebar isn't correct either ("Received 28 
August 2018", "Accepted 29 August 2018").

But yes, the paper contains no evidence of having been registered in ZooBank. 
That means it'll only be validly published for ICZN purposes when it'll come 
out in print. And if that will only happen next year, then the correct citation 
for *Archaeopteryx albersdoerferi* will be "KundrÃt, Nudds, Kear, LÃ & 
Ahlberg, 2019, in KundrÃt, Nudds, Kear, LÃ & Ahlberg, 2018" â which is how 
the citation for *Tototlmimus* already works (Serrano-BraÃas, 
Torres-RodrÃguez, Reyes-Luna, GonzÃlez-RamÃrez & GonzÃlez-LeÃn, 2016, in 
Serrano-BraÃas, Torres-RodrÃguez, Reyes-Luna, GonzÃlez-RamÃrez & 
GonzÃlez-LeÃn, 2015).
