The publication through and through
In the life cycle of a publication, we generally distinguish the following phases:
Author's version: corresponds to any text whose content was directly produced by the authors. This includes both the initial manuscript and its various revisions, as well as the manuscript submitted for review to a conference or journal.
Initial manuscript: the first form of the author's version released for open access.
Submitted manuscript: first author's version submitted to a conference or journal for peer review.
Revised manuscript after peer review: the last author's version as transmitted to the conference or journal after the peer review process.
Editor's version: a document that may be formatted by the conference or journal editor and distributed by the editor.
