Pre-print is a term used to describe an earlier version of a manuscript or document, typically before it is published or released. It is commonly used in academic and research circles, but there are several other terms that are synonymous and can be used interchangeably. These include preprint, prepublication, draft, preliminary version, pre-release, pre-publication version, and early version. All of these terms refer to a document or manuscript that is not yet finalized or published but is still being reviewed or revised. It is important to use these terms correctly in order to avoid confusion and to accurately convey the status of a document.
