What are preprints and postprints?
- A preprint is a pre-refereed and unpublished paper which is usually submitted for publication.
- A postprint is the final peer-reviewed version of a paper. The postprint incorporates any changes or corrections necessary to ensure publication. It is the author’s copy of the paper, not the published pdf version.
- The publisher PDF is the formatted PDF file as created by the publisher.
- An eprint is the umbrella term for an electronic copy of a paper which can include both pre and postprints.
- For advise about managing personal versions and revisions please see the LSE's Version Toolkit for authors, researchers and repository staff.
