Collections of Online Journals (Journals by Database Vendor)
"Generally, preprints are manuscripts that have not yet been published, but may have been reviewed and accepted; submitted for publication; or intended for publication and being circulated for comment. Preprints may also be referred to as "e-prints". Many e-prints are electronic versions of research papers that have been submitted for dissemination and review among peers; for publication in journals; or prior to presentation at conferences. Some preprint servers may define preprints as any electronic work circulated by the author outside of the traditional publishing environment." from the PrePrint Network
