Organization

The process of accepting submissions to SOEPpapers is straightforward. If a paper has already appeared in another discussion paper series with a quality control process (e.g. IZA, NBER, LIS, WZB or in an academic series like that of the University of Zurich), it will be accepted automatically as a SOEPpaper. Reformatting the text is not necessary.

Otherwise, the submission will be evaluated by a member of the editorial team. If an evaluation is necessary, it will always result in a yes/no decision. There are no referee reports.

Formating
