How do I list an accepted manuscript or self-archived version on my CV?
Common practice is to label the manuscript version clearly, link to the published version and/or repository record, and note any embargo or release date where relevant.
Use clear version labels, include stable links, and note any embargo or release date where relevant. These examples use APA-style wording. Adapt to your discipline as needed.
After acceptance (deposit planned or in progress)
Smith, J., & Vicky, F. (2025). Neural correlates of reflective attention during clinical reasoning. Brain Structure and Function. Author Accepted Manuscript (AAM). Deposit planned in MRU Institutional Repository (release date will follow publisher policy, if applicable).
During an embargo period
Smith, J., & Vicky, F. (2025). Neural correlates of reflective attention during clinical reasoning. Brain Structure and Function. AAM deposited in MRU Institutional Repository; release date: April 2026. Repository record.
After the embargo ends
Smith, J., & Vicky, F. (2025). Neural correlates of reflective attention during clinical reasoning. Brain Structure and Function, 230(4), 1021–1036. https://doi.org/10.xxxx/xxxx
Author Accepted Manuscript (open access): MRU Institutional Repository.
Quick tips
- Label the version clearly, for example: Author Accepted Manuscript (AAM).
- Use the DOI for the published version where available.
- Use the repository link for the self-archived version.
- While under embargo, include the release date if known.
- After the embargo ends, update the CV entry to include the open link.
