- Informally published works are available online from e-print repositories (e.g., arXiv), institutional repositories (e.g., UC Research Repository), personal websites and so on.
- An informally published work may not be peer reviewed or it may be the author’s final, peer-reviewed manuscript as accepted for publication. For peer-reviewed works, if possible refer to the final formally published version.
- Usually the year alone is used in the Date area of the reference for informally published works. If a work is updated (e.g., Wuest et al., 2020), provide the exact date of the revision in the reference (APA Style Experts, personal communication, May 21, 2021).
