If your manuscript was submitted to the journal online, the publisher may provide an author portal where the ‘accepted version’ can be retrieved.
Otherwise, keep a copy of the final peer-reviewed version of the paper or contact a co-author, if appropriate.
The Accepted version is the post-print of the manuscript, paper after peer-review.
This is the author's version of an article that has been amended to reflect any revisions in the publication process.
You can also refer to Sherpa/Romeo as this provides information on journal archiving policies.
Additionally, this image provides a concise explanation of Accepted Manuscripts.
