RCAPS Working Paper Series and RCAPS Working Paper Series “Dojo”

An RCAPS Working Paper is a paper that is posted on the RCAPS website while the copyright remains with the author. Posting papers this way is effective when researchers wish to share drafts or have information they wish to share immediately. After posting, if there is a need to take the paper off the website, because publication in other journals/books or other copyright-related issues, please contact us and we will do so accordingly.
The RCAPS Working Paper Series “Dojo” is a space available for researchers who wish to have their draft papers commented on by an expert academic peer and utilize those comments for further review of their papers. Both the draft paper and the reviewer comments will be published side-by-side, so that readers too can learn the process through which academic writings improve.
