Date of Publication Versus Repository Posting Date
The date of publication is the date the work was first made publicly available; for example, the date an article was published in a journal.
The repository posting date is the date the work was archived in the repository.
If the item has not been published/disseminated before its appearance in the repository, the dates will be the same and the repository posting date will take priority.
