Whats the difference between a final peer-reviewed manuscript & the final published article? Which one do I submit to PMC?
The final peer-reviewed manuscript is the author’s final version accepted for publication, including all images and charts. This is not the final, copy-edited version as it appears in the journal itself. The final published article is the journal’s authoritative copy of the paper, including all modifications from the publishing peer review process, copyediting and stylistic edits, and formatting changes. It is most commonly the final peer-reviewed manuscript that you will submit to PubMed Central. 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.
