An accepted version or author accepted manuscript (AAM) is the author-created final draft of an article or chapter manuscript that has been accepted by the publisher. All post-peer review corrections and editing changes have been made, but the publisher has not applied any formatting, copyediting or typsetting to the document. It is the "finished" version of the manuscript produced by the author.
In almost all cases, this version of a research output can be made open access without charge after an embargo period has elapsed. When submitting your work to a repository, it is often the accepted version of the manuscript that you may upload.
Contact the team at ResearchOnline@JCU to learn more about uploading your manuscript to the University's repository.
