Find Working Papers, Preprints, Research in Progress

Working papers and preprints are pre-publication versions of research distributed by scholars to achieve early dissemination of their findings. While these can exist in any discipline, they are most prevalent in business, economics, computer science, mathematics and physics. They tend to be called working papers in the social sciences and preprints in the sciences. Working papers and preprints may be distributed in paper or online formats. Online versions might be posted to departmental web pages, personal web pages or online repositories.
