Policies for Submissions

Who Can Submit

The Institute for the Study of Societal Issues (ISSI) only publishes materials about work conducted under the auspices of ISSI. WE DO NOT ACCEPT UNSOLICITED MANUSCRIPTS. For additional information, please contact Christine Trost at ctrost@berkeley.edu or (510) 643-7237.

Removal

A paper may be updated or removed from public view by sending a request to the system administrator at Christine Trost at ctrost@berkeley.edu or (510) 643-7237. However, a bibliographic citation to the original version of the paper will always remain on the site.

Author Review

Authors are asked to review PDFs created from their papers within 5 days of being sent the PDF. If the author does not respond within 5 days, the paper will be automatically posted. At this stage, we are unable to make any changes beyond the rare error that occurs in PDF conversion.
