ACCEPTED PREPRINTS

Accepted Preprints are PDF versions of manuscripts that have been peer reviewed and accepted for publication but not yet copyedited or typeset, allowing readers the most rapid online access to accepted papers. They are published online ahead of print, subject to the author’s agreement, appearing on the GR-in-Advance page as submitted by the authors, which does not reflect any changes that will be made before final publication. The Accepted Preprint remains on the GR-in-Advance page until it is either replaced by a copyedited and typeset version and/or when the final version of the paper is published in an issue.

Accepted Preprints are available only to subscribers until 6 months after the final version is published, when they become freely available subject to copyright/license terms and conditions, unless the author chooses the Open Access option, which ensures free availability from the time of posting. Supplemental material accepted for publication is NOT posted until the copyedited and typeset version is posted on the GR-in-Advance page and/or the final version is published in an issue.

Accepted Preprints can be cited with their Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) as “In press,” until they are assigned to an issue, at which point the full reference will be available.

Please note that this option is not available for all accepted manuscripts and is subject to the Editor's approval.
