Information on Self-Archiving One's Own Papers on Personal Websites
We are aware that many of our colleagues are not certain whether they can
post versions of their publications on their own websites or in depositories
sponsored by their home institutions. For information about
"self-archiving" please refer to a pertinent Dialogue article on the topic. It turns out that there is much material you can
post on your own website without violating any copyright rules, so get
informed!
Survey of Graduate Programs
In addition to these periodicals, SPSP has drafted a report of its summer, 2001, survey of graduate programs. This survey assessed the size of graduate programs, academic credentials of incoming students, demographics of their applicant pools, and the financial offers of support given to students.
A summary of survey results was published in the Fall, 2001, issue of Dialogue. The full report can be viewed or downloaded in pdf format (Note: Adobe Acrobat Reader is needed to read pdf files, and can be downloaded free if you do not have it).
