PSC Working Paper Series
The Population Studies Center (PSC) Working Paper Series is open to PSC research associates. It serves as an outlet for pre-prints, for papers under journal review, and for background papers (e.g., for technical materials for which journals lack space). Papers can be submitted to the PSC Director and/or his or her designees. The series will also entertain submissions from students affiliated with PSC research associates. In such cases, the submission should be accompanied by a letter from a PSC research associate stating that she or he has read the paper, that it conforms to high professional standards, and that she or he wishes to sponsor its appearance in the series.
The PSC is also home to the Population Aging Research Center (PARC) which also has a working paper series available, the PARC Working Paper Series.
