What is the difference between a final peer-reviewed manuscript and final published article? Which version of my paper should I submit?
The NIH Public Access Policy is based on a law that requires investigators to submit “their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts” to PubMed Central. NIH will accept the final published article in lieu of the final peer-reviewed manuscript, provided that the author has the right to submit this version. Final peer-reviewed manuscript: The Investigator’s final manuscript of a peer-reviewed paper accepted for journal publication, including all modifications from the peer review process. Final published article: The journal’s authoritative copy of the paper, including all modifications from the publishing peer review process, copyediting and stylistic edits, and formatting changes.
