Are you ready to submit an education-related paper to ERIC? Here are a few guidelines to follow as you
prepare your document for online submission.
Before getting started, please have the following prepared:
- Cover page
ERIC will not accept materials without the following identifying information
on the first page of your document:
- Title
- Author name(s) (the inclusion of your affiliation is appreciated, but not required)
- Publication date
- Final Version of the Document
Be sure your document is ready for review:
- Verify that all editing is complete, editing marks are removed, and “track changes” (Word) is turned off.
- Remove personally identifying information about research participants such as names, Social
Security numbers, or addresses. For privacy reasons, this information may not be included.
- Remove your CV or resume if it is appended or included in the document.
- If the document is split into multiple files (e.g. index, chapters, appendices, etc.), it will be
reassembled into a single PDF file; use clear and distinct file names indicating the correct order in
which the files should be assembled.
- The document file, including the cover page, must be in the format of .pdf, .txt, .doc, or .rtf
(see Submission
Guidelines).
- Abstract
Prepare a narrative or structured abstract summarizing your
document (see 
Narrative Abstract Guidelines
or
Structured Abstract Guidelines).
- File containing your submission
- If you have multiple files to submit, use WinZip or StuffIt to create one file.
- Optional supplementary files, such as PowerPoint slides and data spreadsheets, are acceptable only
as appendices to the complete text of your paper or report.
