What is the difference between a publisher version and a final manuscript version of a document?
The publisher pdf usually contains the publisher imprint and the journal / conference / book heading or footer
with citation information, including page numbers. The formatting is usually prominent e.g. columns, borders,
highlighted headings, variable font sizes etc.

The final manuscript version contains the same content but with less formatting and usually no reference to
the publisher or citation. It is the version that has been subject to refereeing (where applicable) and is the
author’s final copy as published. It is commonly in Word format and may consist of separate files.
