Request to Publish a Technical Report or Technical Note

To publish a Technical Report or Note, do the following three steps:

  (1) Fill out this form and mail it to your department's Publications
      Coordinator.  (The Email addresses of the Publications Coordinators
      for various departments are listed in the file Names-and-Addresses
      on the server Elib.Stanford.EDU in directory /pub/reports/forms.)
      For a request to publish a Technical Report, this form must
      come from the Principal Investigator who is authorizing the
      charges.

  (2) If neither you nor any of the other authors of the report have
      signed a Nonexclusive Right To Publish Blanket Agreement, you
      must send a signed copy of either a Nonexclusive Right To Publish
      Individual Agreement or Blanket Agreement to your department's
      Publications Coordinator. (Copies of these forms can be FTPed from
      the Electronic Library to your system.  You can then print them out,
      sign whatever is necessary and send it to the your department's
      Publications Coordinator.  The procedure for doing this is described
      below.)

      Please be sure to read "Your Intellectual Property Rights As Author",
      at the beginning of each of these forms.  Also, appended to each
      form are two draft attachments: The first may be used if the report
      is also going to be published by some other organization. (eg in
      a Journal.)  The second should be used if the report is a Thesis.

  (3) Submit the Technical Report or Note:
        (a) Paper version (Single sided, but formatted for double sided
            printing, two copies for a Technical Report; one copy for a
            Technical Note) should  be sent to your department's
            Publications Coordinator; include insert from funding agency
            (eg., ARPA) if necessary.
        (b) Electronic version should be FTPed as described below.

Electronic versions of Technical Reports and Notes should be available in
Stanford's Electronic Library within one week after all of the above steps
are completed.  The Reports and Notes may be accesed either via ftp
(ftp://ELIB.Stanford.EDU/pub/reports) or via a WWW client such as Mosaic
(http://Elib.Stanford.EDU).

Printed copies of Technical Reports should be received by your secretary
in four to six weeks after all of the above steps are completed.  If you
haven't received them within that time, please contact your secretary.

     (1) We would like to have electronic versions of your report,
         in one or more of the following formats:
             (a) postscript

         For each of the formats you wish to submit, do the following steps.
