Giving both versions if may not be accepted by many journals in the interests of space. Even a note such as "sourced on arXiv" should be enough for most readers to trace it down on google if they had the journal reference. | |
| Feb 12, 2017 at 20:39 | comment | added | darij grinberg | The optimal way to assist readers is to link both the journal and the arXiv version, possibly even pointing out whether the two versions substantially deviate (if you know it). I tend to do exactly that in my preprints. Unfortunately, this kind of information maps badly onto standard bibliography formats, which is why I think not many people do it. (I write my bibliography manually, so I don't have troubles doing it.) | |
