A preprint is a journal article in draft form, before peer review. A postprint is a journal article after it has gone through peer review. Both of these types of documents are known collectively as eprints.
ePrints allow you to access the latest research, without having to wait for a paper to be peer reviewed, accepted and published. They foster broad collaborations, improve the speed of research, and provide greater transparency of the scholarly communication cycle.
