  • If the work or record states what version it is, that is what it is.
  • If you can't determine whether something is a preprint or postprint, assume that it's the version that you can post. If you can post either, assume that it's a preprint. 
  • A publisher's proof isn't isn't a preprint, postprint, or final published version. We don't accept these.
