ePubs Help » Publication Types »

There are a range of publication types in ePubs. A publication type needs to be assigned when a record is created to provide the correct fields for completing the citation. Search results can be filtered on publication type.

Publication types in ePubs are defined as follows:

Article (Published Version). A copy of the published version of a journal article which a publisher allows to be posted in a repository. This version can be used to comply with a Funder’s (green) open access policy, and requires a cover sheet provided by the Library.

Author’s Accepted Manuscript (AAM). A manuscript as accepted by a publisher in its final version for publication, after peer review and all corrections. A copy of this version is usually sent to the author by the publisher. There may be an embargo period before the full text of this version can be made available in a repository. AAMs in ePubs require a cover sheet provided by the Library. AAMs can be used to comply with a Funder's (green) open access policy.
