Which version of my article should I upload to Elements?
Answer
For journal articles and conference papers, it is the author’s final, accepted manuscript (or post-print) which should be uploaded to Elements. The article should have been updated to include all changes resulting from peer review as well as any changes of an academic nature requested by the journal editor or conference organiser. The accepted manuscript is not the same as the copy-edited, typeset, or published paper — these versions are known as ‘proofs’ or ‘versions of record’ and publishers do not normally allow authors to make this open-access.
