- A preprint is a portion of a work printed and distributed in advance of the publication date announced for the whole, for example, an article to be published in a periodical.
- By principle should a preprint not be confused with a draft or a manuscript, which have been submitted but not accepted for publication. In reality, things look somewhat differently. Various types of web-based archives are evolving rapidly. Preprint archives, e-print archives and open archives are terms used to describe several types of collections of electronic document. Preprint servers typically collect article-like documents which may or may not be later published in print journals. E-prints are sometimes preprints but may also include a variety of document types that may not be intended for print publication. E-prints are sometimes conceived as a form of electronic publishing.
