11 Pre-prints, post-prints and publisher’s version Papers submitted for publication go through several iterations before being accepted and published in a journal: 1. Researcher writes a paper they want to publish. The version they submit to the publisher is called the pre-print. 2. Publisher arranges for peer-review; changes are identified to be made before publication. Author updates the pre-print version to include all the changes, producing a post-print. Content of post- print matches published version; without publisher’s type-setting and formatting. 3. Publisher produces a version that includes formatting required for publishing, known as the publisher’s version or publisher- generated PDF; looks the same as the pages from the journal.
