"In general, a preprint is an author's own original or draft version of their paper before any peer review has taken place and before they publish it - sometimes in a peer-reviewed journal.
Adding your preprints gives you a great opportunity to start gaining visibility for your work early on and lets you get valuable feedback from your peers.
Many preprints are available, usually in the form of a .doc file with minimal formatting, before the published version is available. The published version is usually the final, formatted work that you find on a publisher's website. This is the version that most library databases link to. "
A preprint is a draft version of the paper without the final polish, or without peer review.
She hasn't published any paper, just a few teasers. They are simply ads.
There's a difference between having a preprint and being entitled to publish the full-text of the preprint. Often, the copyright is transferred directly to the publishing institution, and then the author is not free to publish the work on their own. What we have here is the abstract marked as "preprint" which I normally would interpret as it is - namely, as the abstract of the preprint. If there is an article behind that, we may expect it to be published soon. If there is none, well this is tomfoolery then. But I can't imagine why there would be none. Typically when one has a Voynich solution, the latter is published. It makes no sense to have a solution and not disclose it. That is not what Voynich solutions are developed for!
