2. Write an abstract for your paper of up to 300 words. 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 jonathan.leff@ucsf.edu. Create a cover page for your paper with the following things: abstract; keywords; and name, affiliation (department and university), and email address for each author.
4. If you have any questions, contact jonathan.leff@ucsf.edu.

Author Review

After you submit your paper, we will create an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) version of the paper. We will then send you a message asking you to approve the PDF version. Please look it over within 5 days and reply to jonathan.leff@ucsf.edu as soon as possible. At this stage, we're unable to make any changes beyond the truly necessary. You will be notified by e-mail when the paper is posted.

How to Revise Your Paper

If you publish this paper or a revised version elsewhere, for example in a journal, please send the citation of the new version to jonathan.leff@ucsf.edu. We will be able to inform repository users about the new version.

If you would like to post a revised version of your paper on the site, please follow the instructions in "How to Submit"; however, please specify when you submit the paper that it is a revision of a previously submitted paper.
