If you would like to publish your working paper in COMPASSS Working Papers, please send your paper, in Word format (NB: not PDF) to the Managing editor, Maarten Vink. Every paper should include a cover page with the title of the paper, an abstract, and the name and contact details of the author. Graphs and tables should be included at the end of the document. There are no further style criteria, but authors are expected to use an internationally accepted reference system and to present their paper in a readable format.
Every submitted paper will be examined by at least two members of the editorial committee. The WP series editors will provide the author(s) with some comments in a few bullet-points (strong points / points to be improved) and decide whether the paper meets the quality standards for publication the WP series.
NB: authors who are not sure whether their paper is « ripe » to be submitted as a working paper and would like to receive feedback on specific issues can post their draft paper or ask specific questions to the broader community at the Questions and Answers’ page.
