Dear List members

Does anyone know whether there is any difference between an "ahead of
print" (AOP) publication and a "version of record" (VOR) publication?
Typically an AOP article may not include metadata like issue and page
numbers - but other than this, can the AOP always be considered as
identical to the VoR?

I looked at the NISO Journal Article Versions document (
http://www.niso.org/publications/rp/RP-8-2008.pdf) but couldn't see
any reference to the AOP version.

Many thanks
Robert
