Although we do not referee contributions we do ask authors to inform us where their paper has been submitted for publication. The key point is that research is reported relatively quickly to overcome the social science journal logjam. Note that the papers reproduced here are the final versions sent to the editors, they do not include any copy-editing changes the publishers might subsequently require. Where the latter version is forthcoming or published this will be indicated at the end of the Bulletin. When revisions are completed the paper is designated (Z) indicating that there will be no further changes. Hence readers will be able to identify updated versions of papers they have previously used. A newly submitted paper will be designated (A) which may be replaced by subsequent revised versions designated (B), (C) and so on. The status of a paper is given by the letter in brackets after its Bulletin number. Of course, some may fail to impress referees and be rejected and nearly all will be revised before publication. The papers we mount as a Bulletin are 'final products' in that the authors, in their professional judgement, have considered them ready for submission to a journal, edited book/report or refereed conference proceedings. We use the two key advantages of electronic publication, immediacy and accessibility, to help ease this problem in our research area. On top of the usual writing up period, there is an interval between submission and publication which can be as long as 18 months. One of the current problems in research work is the long time-lag between carrying out the research and its final publication. GaWC Research Bulletins are publication-submission versions of academic papers reporting research on relations between world cities.
