Academic documents available online
In
academic publishing, an eprint or e-print is a digital version of a research document (usually a journal article, but could also be a
thesis, conference paper, book chapter, or a book) that is accessible online, usually as
green open access, whether from a local
institutional or
a central
digital repository.

When applied to journal articles, the term "eprints" covers both
preprints (before
peer review) and
postprints (after peer review).
Digital versions of materials other than research documents are not usually called e-prints, but some other name, such as
e-books.
