Which version of my paper can I publish as open access?
Many publishing policies allow you to publish at least the preprint.
- Preliminary version or preprint: This is the manuscript sent to the publisher for review, before the peer review process.
- Reviewed preliminary version or postprint: This is the version accepted by the publisher (after the peer review process and corrections).
- Published version: This is the publisher's final version, the one that will be available in the journal (offline/online).
