Submission Guidelines

Who Can Submit

The Survey Research Center only publishes materials about work conducted conducted under the auspices of the SRC or its affiliates. For additional information, please contact jons@berkeley.edu.

How to Submit a Paper

Make sure your paper is in an acceptable format. We can accept papers in Microsoft Word, Rich Text Format (RTF), or Adobe Acrobat (PDF) formats. If you use a word-processing program other than Microsoft Word, look for an "export" or "save as" option in your program to save it as an RTF file.

Write an abstract for your paper. It must be a minimum of one paragraph and a maximum of one page. Please also select keywords. These are words that will help a user locate your paper through a search.

Submit the paper by emailing it to jons@berkeley.edu. Include in an email message the following things: abstract; keywords; and name, affiliation (department and university), and email address for each author.

If you have any questions, contact jons@berkeley.edu.

Overview of the Process

After you submit your paper, we will create an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) version of it and publish it on the site. 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 jons@berkeley.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.
