La soluzione migliore per diffondere le proprie pubblicazioni senza infrangere il copyright dell'editore è caricare sempre in Iris Unimore il preprint o il post-print della pubblicazione, scegliendo come opzione di disseminazione "visibile in open access".

Di ogni pubblicazione esistono infatti molteplici versioni, dalla bozza iniziale inviata all'editore fino all'articolo finale pubblicato, con diversi gradi di libertà in merito alla diffusione in open access.

 Il preprint è la bozza originale dell’autore. Non ha ancora passato il processo di peer review, né di copy-editing, di formattazione e di paginazione dell’editore. La responsabilità dei contenuti è esclusivamente dell’autore. Di norma, il preprint può essere caricato in Iris come visibile in open access.  Il post-print è la bozza finale dell’autore, ossia la versione accettata per la pubblicazione a seguito di peer review e revisione. Contiene quindi le (eventuali) modifiche fatte dall’autore sulla base dei commenti dei revisori e delle comunicazioni con l’editore. Non però è ancora stata sottoposta a correzione bozze, formattazione e paginazione dell’editore. Nella maggior parte dei casi, il post-print può essere caricato in Iris come visibile in open access, talvolta con la specifica di una data di embargo, ossia la data a partire dalla quale il file potrà essere visibile.  La versione editoriale è la versione definitiva pubblicata dall’editore. Va sempre caricata in Iris come non visibile, eccetto nei casi in cui sia stata pubblicata su una rivista open access o sia stata pagata l’opzione per la pubblicazione in open access, per cui può essere caricata come visibile in open access. ***

DEFINIZIONI

Preprint / Submitted version / Author’s original version

[Crossref] The preprint is the author’s original draft* which is intended for formal publication, or already submitted for publication (“Submitted Work”), but prior to the Accepted Work. (*The author’s original draft is the version of a work deemed by the author to be ready for reading and/or formal review by others - only the author bears responsibility for the content.)

[Elsevier] The preprint is the author’s own write-up of research and analysis that has not been peer reviewed, nor had any other value added to it by a publisher (such as formatting, copy-editing, technical enhancements, and the like).

[Oxford University Press] The author’s original version is the un-refereed author version of an article completed before submission of the article to the journal. The author accepts full responsibility for the article, and the content and layout is set out by the author.

[Wiley] The submitted (preprint) version is the author’s version that has not been peer-reviewed, nor had any value added to it by the Editor (such as formatting or copy editing). The author accepts full responsibility for the article, and the content and layout is set out by the author.

Post-print / Accepted manuscript / Author’s accepted manuscript / Accepted (peer-reviewed) version

[CrossRef] The post-print is the accepted work* or the definitive work or a minor revision. Note: the term postprint has several variant definitions. Repositories and the Open Access Initiative tend to define postprint as any version after peer review and acceptance. (*The accepted work is the version of a work accepted for formal publication as a result of significant value-adding activities, typically peer review and revision, but prior to final typesetting and other processing for publication.)

[Elsevier] The accepted manuscript is the manuscript of an article that has been accepted for publication and which typically includes author-incorporated changes suggested during submission, peer review, and editor-author communications. They do not include other publisher value-added contributions such ass copy-editing, formatting, technical enhancements, and, if relevant, pagination.

[Oxford University Press] The accepted manuscript is the final draft author manuscript, as accepted for publication by a journal, including modifications based on referees’ suggestions, before it has undergone copyediting, typesetting and proof correction.

[Wiley] The accepted (peer-reviewed) version of an article is the version that incorporates all amendments made during the peer review process, but prior to the final published version (which instead includes: copy and stylistic edits, online and print formatting, citation and other linking, deposit in abstracting and indexing services, and the addition of bibliographic and other material). Personal Version / Personal Copy / Author Version / Personal Work

[CrossRef] The publicly available version of the work maintained by the author after acceptance by the publisher, but excluding the proof and the definitive work, which has been formally processed and published.

Proof

Any of several versions of a work created as part of a formal publication process after acceptance and before the definitive work, pre-copyedited and following peer review.

Publisher's version / Version of Record / Published Journal Article

[Crossref] The published journal article is the definitive work* published in a journal, which normally includes the journal name, publisher's name, and a DOI. Also: definitive version, definitive copy, reference copy, formally published work, formal publication (*The definitive work is the final version of a work which has been published. Typically, the definitive work has been accepted, edited and published in print and/or digital form.)

a cura di Andrea Solieri

[Elsevier] The published journal article is the definitive final record of publish research that appears or will appear in the journal and embodies all value-adding publishing activities including peer review co-ordination, copy-editing, formatting, (if relevant) pagination and online enrichment.

[Oxford University Press] The version of record is the final typeset and edited version of the journal article that has been made available by the editor by formally and exclusively declaring the article “published”. This includes any ‘advanced access’ article even before the compilation of a volume issue.

[Wiley] The publisher's version is the final article.

Embargo

[Wikipedia] In academic publishing, an embargo is a period during which access to academic journals is not allowed to users who have not paid for access (or have access through their institution). Eprint

[Wikipedia] In academic publishing, an eprint or e-print is a digital version of a research document (usually a journal article, but could also be a thesis, conference paper, book chapter, or a book) that is accessible online, whether from a local institutional, or a central (subject- or discipline- based) digital repository. When applied to journal articles, the term "eprint" covers both preprints (before peer review) and postprints (after peer review). Reprint

[Wikipedia] The word reprint refers to hard copies of papers that have already been published; reprints can be produced by the journal publisher, but can also be generated from digital versions (for example, from an electronic database of peer-reviewed journals, such as EBSCOhost), or from eprints self-archived by their authors in their institutional repositories.
