Re: Embargoes on Deposit in Repositories



The term "authors' manuscripts" is not much clearer. I would 
recommend that we all start using the terminology developed by 
NISO/ALPSP:

AO = Author's Original
SMUR = Submitted Manuscript Under
Review
AM = Accepted Manuscript
P = Proof
VoR = Version of Record
CVoR = Corrected Version of Record
EVoR = Enhanced Version of Record
