Submitting Research Reports

ALL RESEARCH REPORTS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY MAY 1, 2000

You will be required to electronically submit your research report via ftp. E-mail research reports will not be accepted. We will be using a strict file naming convention for submissions, based on a unique identifier code (investigation id, ID#) for each research report. Please verify the appropriate code for your submission from the list. Assuming the code is T01, please name your files as follows:

Camera ready manuscripts	T01.doc (including all figs and formatted for final printing)
Postscript figures	T01-fig1.ps, T01-fig2.ps, etc.
Encapsulated Postscript figures .gif and .jpeg (.jpg) formats are also acceptable	T01-fig1.eps, T01-fig2.eps, etc.

To submit a manuscript, upload your files to our ftp server. This is a write-only server; you will not be able to retrieve any files you upload. You will not be able to overwrite your files once you upload them. The steps to upload files are outlined below. Commands that you must type are shown in red.

Continuing with the example above, assume the manuscript to be submitted is contained in the file T01.doc, with three Postscript figures: T01-fig1.eps, T01-fig2.eps, and T01-fig3.eps. Log on to the server, create your directory and upload the items as shown below.
