AOM, AM, and VoR: A Breakdown

This is the initial version of the research paper submitted by the author(s) to a journal. It's the raw, unedited version that the journal receives for consideration.

Once a paper is accepted for publication, it becomes an Accepted Manuscript (AM). This version has been reviewed, accepted, and often includes minor edits suggested by the reviewers. It's essentially the final version before the journal's final production process.

The Version of Record (VoR) is the definitive, final, and officially published version of the paper. It includes the journal's formatting, layout, pagination, and any additional editorial changes. This is the version that is cited and indexed in databases
