The W. Maurice Young Centre for Applied Ethics has initiated the CAE Electronic Working Papers Series to hasten the public availability of research undertaken by and through the Centre. The design of the series is based in part on the University of Sussex at Brighton’s SPRU series, the Danish Research Unit for Industrial Design’s DRUID series and the UBC Department of Economics Discussion Papers series.

Process

The CAE Electronic Working Papers Series presents pre-publication research papers by Centre faculty, staff and research associates that are judged by the Centre’s publications committee to be suitable in whole or in part for submission to a refereed journal, a conference, or for inclusion in an edited book. Each indexed reference in this series includes an abstract (text version), the complete paper (Adobe Acrobat), and a citation. Each paper includes the citation and appropriate acknowledgements, including “in press” information.

Once published, a paper will be removed from the CAE Electronic Working Papers Series. The index number, the abstract and the updated citation will remain on the site. The reader should note that a paper found on this site may be altered through the refereeing process.

Disclaimer

The works available through the CAE Electronic Working Papers Series are the responsibility of the individual author or authors and do not necessarily represent the views of other researchers. The W. Maurice Young Centre for Applied Ethics does not endorse individual research contributions.
