All About ERIC
How Can You Contribute to the ERIC Database?
Consider sharing your work with others by submitting it to ERIC. If you have recently
authored a research report, program description or evaluation, literature review, teaching
guide, conference paper, or other education-related work, you can make it permanently
available and accessible to others through ERIC.
Inclusion of submitted documents in the ERIC database is not automatic. All documents
submitted to ERIC are evaluated by subject experts according to the following criteria:
education-relatedness, legibility, reproducibility, and quality of content (for example,
contribution to knowledge, significance, relevance, innovativeness, effectiveness of
presentation, thoroughness of reporting, relation to current priorities, timeliness,
authority of source, intended audience, and comprehensiveness).
Organizations that want to sell copies of their original documents can have this information
(together with address and price information) listed in the ERIC bibliographic record.
Studies have shown that availability from ERIC does not reduce sales from the original source
because purchasers prefer original documents over reproductions from microfiche. After the
document is sold out at the original source, it will still be available through the
ERIC Document Reproduction Service
(EDRS) if permission to reproduce it has been granted to ERIC.
To submit your document, send ERIC one legible copy of your report, speech, paper, or other
education-related work to be considered (laser-printer quality; no diskettes) and a completed
Reproduction Release Form. The Reproduction Release Form grants ERIC permission to reproduce and disseminate the
document, but it does not preclude your selling the document or having it published. The form
is available from any ERIC Clearinghouse
or online at
http://ericfac.piccard.csc.com/submitting.html#errp.
You may send your document to the clearinghouse that covers your topic. If you do not know
which clearinghouse is appropriate, or if you have questions about submitting your work, call
the ERIC Processing and Reference
Facility at 1-800-799-ERIC.

ERIC Partners
ERIC has established more than 650 dynamic, mutually beneficial partnerships with
institutions and organizations involved in collecting and disseminating information to the
education community. ERIC Partners include, but are not limited to, associations, government
agencies, federally funded programs, universities, research firms, private corporations, and
libraries.
ERIC Partner organizations have agreed to promote ERIC, disseminate ERIC information through
newsletters and journals, enhance the ERIC database through the addition of documents, and
encourage joint projects such as workshops and conferences. In turn, these organizations
enjoy special benefits from ERIC, such as VIP handling of their information requests, free
or discounted ERIC publications, advance notice of materials distributed by the ERIC system,
and technical assistance and support. By coordinating efforts with public and private
Partners, ERIC is able to provide enhanced products and services at no additional cost to the
government or taxpayers.
Agencies or organizations that are interested in education and are willing to distribute ERIC
information may become partners by contacting
ACCESS ERIC or the ERIC Clearinghouse
that most closely reflects their interests.
