Have you found that there’s peer-review included when it’s university published?

Not comment-OP, but there are different levels:

• "pre-print" means that it hasn't been submitted yet, hasn't been peer-reviewed yet, and hasn't been accepted yet.
• "post-print" means that it's been peer-reviewed, revised, and the content is ready to publish, but it hasn't been formatted to be in the journal.
• "version of record" is the published version. this is called "camera-ready" if it's waiting to be published.

Depending on the contract signed, the academic ~~scammers~~ publishers will usually let the researcher publish the paper on their own web site or university site or repository like arxiv.org. If it's the pre-print, it may be available before publication, but if it's the post-print or version of record, this may be only after a certain period of time has passed.
