Announcing...
We are pleased to announce that a new electronic submission and handling system, EES, has been implemented for Social Science Research. This 'Elsevier Editorial System' (or EES) is a web-based system with full online submission, review and status update capabilities. EES allows you to upload files directly from your computer. We strongly encourage all authors to use EES at the following URL when submitting papers to the journal: http://ees.elsevier.com/ssr/ (First time users will need to register).
Social Science Research publishes papers devoted to quantitative social science research and methodology. The journal features articles that illustrate the use of quantitative methods in the empirical solution of substantive problems, and emphasizes those concerned with issues or methods that cut across traditional disciplinary lines. Special attention is given to methods that have been used by only one particular social science discipline, but that may have application to a broader range of areas. |

Instructions to Authors
Social Science Research publishes papers dealing quantitatively with substantive issues in all social science areas and with social science methods. Especially welcome are articles dealing with issues or methods that cut across traditional disciplinary lines.
Submission of Manuscripts. Authors are requested to submit their papers electronically by using online manuscript submission available at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/ssr. This site will guide authors stepwise through the submission process. Authors should upload the source files of their articles in the preferred format of Microsoft (MS) Word, RTF, WordPerfect, or LaTeX for text and TIFF or EPS for figures. The system automatically converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Please note that even though manuscript source files are converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing after acceptance. Authors, reviewers, and editors send and receive all correspondence by e-mail and no paper correspondence is necessary. Should you be unable to provide an electronic version, please contact the Editor prior to submission:

When submitting the final, accepted version, please provide it in Word format.
There are no submission fees or page charges. Each manuscript should be accompanied by a letter outlining the basic findings of the paper and their significance.
Original papers only will be considered. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has not been and is not currently submitted elsewhere, and that it will not be submitted elsewhere prior to the journal making an editorial decision. Moreover, that submission of the article for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out; further, that any person cited as a source of personal communications has approved such citation. Written authorization may be required at the Editor's discretion. Articles and any other material published in Social Science Research represent the opinions of the author(s) and should not be construed to reflect the opinions of the Editor(s) and the Publisher.
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright, see http://authors.elsevier.com). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided after acceptance.
If material from other copyrighted works is included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases: contact Elsevier Global Rights Department, P.O. Box 800, Oxford OX5 1DX, UK; phone: (+44) 1865 843830, fax: (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail: permissions@elsevier.com.
Social Science Research Policy on Reporting Response Rates in Articles Using Survey Data. As a journal specializing in social science methodology and quantitative research, Social Science Research endorses the efforts of the American Association for Public Opinion Research to improve survey practices in the social and behavioral sciences. Following the AAPOR recommendation, and effective immediately, submissions to SSR that make use of survey data must contain information on the survey's response rate (or, where appropriate, the refusal rate) and details of its calculation. Authors are urged to consult the AAPOR Report, Standard Definitions: Final Disposition of Case Codes and Outcome Rates for Surveys, and whenever possible, follow this report's recommendations. The report details specific formulas for calculating rates of response, cooperation, and refusal and also offers a series of standard operational definitions of completed interviews, refusals, non-contacts, and other quantities necessary for calculating rates. The report is available at http://www.aapor.org as part of the AAPOR's standards and best practices for survey research. If these recommendations are not followed, authors should explain why some other approach to the calculation of response rate was used instead. Please note: Compliance with this policy often requires no more than a single line of text or, at most, a brief footnote. Note, too, that this policy does not stipulate minimally acceptable response rates for various kinds of surveys; it only mandates that information about response rates be revealed.
Preparation of the manuscript. General style should follow the recommendation of the American Sociological Association. Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout. Pages should be numbered consecutively and organized as follows:
The Title Page (p. 1) should contain the article title, authors' names and complete affiliations, footnotes to the title, and the address for manuscript correspondence (including e-mail address and telephone and fax numbers).
The Abstract (p. 2) must be concise, preferably not exceeding 100 to 150 words. After the abstract a list of up to 10 keywords that will be useful for indexing or searching should be included.
The Introduction should be as concise as possible, without an Introduction head or subheadings.
Materials and methods should be sufficiently detailed to enable the experiments to be reproduced.
Results and Discussion may be combined and may be organized into subheadings.
Acknowledgments should be brief.
References in the text should be cited by author's surname and the year of publication, e.g., Long (1997); Bean and Fix (1992, p. 44) (for references to a specific page). If more than one paper was published by the same author in a given year, the correct style is Smith (1985a) and Smith (1985b). References should be listed alphabetically typed double-spaced at the end of the article. All references cited in the text must be listed at the end of the paper. Journal titles should be written out in full according to the form followed in the American Sociological Association. Only articles that have been published or are in press should be included in the references. Unpublished results or personal communications should be cited as such in the text.

Figures should be in a finished form suitable for publication. Number figures consecutively with Arabic numerals. Please visit our Web site at http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork for detailed instructions on preparing electronic artwork.
If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable color figures, then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in color on the Web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether these illustrations are reproduced in color in the printed version. For color reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork.
Please note: Because of technical complications that can arise in converting color figures to "gray scale" (for the printed version should you not opt for color in print), please submit in addition usable black-and-white files corresponding to all the color illustrations.
Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in order of appearance in the text. Type each table double-spaced on a separate page with a short descriptive title typed directly above and with essential footnotes below.
Equations should be typewritten with the equation number placed in parentheses at the right margin. Reference to the equation in the text should use the form "Eq. (3)" or simply "(3)."
Preparation of supplementary material. Elsevier now accepts electronic supplementary material to support and enhance your scientific research. Supplementary files offer additional possibilities for publishing supporting applications, movies, animation sequences, high-resolution images, background datasets, sound clips, and more. Supplementary files supplied will be published online alongside the electronic version of your article in Elsevier Web products, including ScienceDirect (http://www.sciencedirect.com). To ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please provide the data in one of our recommended file formats. Authors should submit the material in electronic format together with the article and supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file. For more detailed instructions, please visit our Author Gateway at http://authors.elsevier.com, click on "Artwork instructions," and then click on "Multimedia files."
Proofs will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author. To avoid delay in publication, only necessary changes should be made, and proofs should be returned promptly.
Reprints. Twenty-five (25) reprints will be provided free of charge. Additional reprints may be ordered.
