What is the difference between a manuscript and an article?

[borroka]

In my field, they are called either manuscripts or papers, rarely articles.

In my mind 'manuscript' is a book length publication, while 'paper' is a standard short publication for journals or conferences.

[borroka]

The book-length publication would a book or monograph if shorter. "Article" would be in my mind for non-peer-reviewed outlets. I typically use "manuscript" for papers that have yet to be published. -- I edit the above and I write "papers" instead of "manuscripts" to avoid confusion.

Oh yes, I confused 'manuscript' and 'monograph'. I agree with your clarification.
