A copy of an article deposited in an institutional repository in the form it had immediately after acceptance
Counter-examples
Looks similar, but isn't
- Not an instance
The publisher's PDF with typeset pagination is the version of record, not a postprint
Editorial commentary
The postprint contains the same intellectual content as the version of record but lacks the publisher’s typesetting, pagination, and any post-acceptance copy-editing. It is the version most commonly deposited in green-OA institutional repositories. Distinct from the OA-glossary ‘Post-print’ entry’s exact scope by treating it as a research-output category.
