A postprint is a digital draft of a academic journal article after it has been and accepted for publication, but before it has been typeset and formatted by the journal.
Postprints are also sometimes called accepted author manuscripts ( AAMs), because they are the version accepted by the journal after the author has addressed the peer reviewer comments. Jointly, postprints and preprints are called . Postprints are variously referred to by different publishers as pre-proofs, author's original version and variations of these.
After typesetting by a journal, authors will often be provided with Galley proof (the draft of the final formatting) and finally the version that is published is called the published/publisher's version.
The term postprint used to also refer to the formatted publishers version, however usage has narrowed to refer only to the current definition of accepted but unformatted.
Since the advent of the Open Archives Initiative, preprints and postprints have been deposited in institutional repositories, which are interoperable because they are compliant with the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting.
Eprints are at the heart of the open access initiative to make research freely accessible online. Eprints were first deposited or self-archiving in arbitrary websites and then harvested by virtual such as CiteSeer (and, more recently, Google Scholar), or they were deposited in central disciplinary archives such as arXiv or PubMed Central.
