How to Submit a Paper

1. Make sure your paper is in an acceptable format. We can accept papers in Microsoft Word, Rich Text Format (RTF), or Adobe Acrobat (PDF).

2. Write an abstract for your paper, preferably one paragraph. Please also select keywords. These are words that will help a user locate your paper through a search.
3. Submit the paper by emailing it to [email protected]. Include in an email message [and also on cover page of your Working Paper] the following things: abstract; keywords; and name, affiliation (department and university), and email address for each author.
