A special note to authors and discussants

Authors – if you have any additional material please DO NOT attempt to submit anything to the IUSSP website. The submissions site is now closed. Please email anything you would like to upload to us at the intergen@soton.ac.uk Discussants – please can you also send your comments to us via the intergen email site.

Special note on videos and voice recordings

Please do not be shy if you would like to record a little video presentation or comments. We welcome between 2-4 minute recordings. These could be about your paper, to introduce yourself, to make a comment on a paper, or about the IUSSP Family Demography panel and cyberseminar initiative more generally. We would prefer if you could keep these video locally and send us a URL link for example, to You Tube or another video hosting site. If you would like to send us the recording, video files are large so could you send us an email first at intergen@soton.ac.uk and we can discuss how best to share the file.

We would like to thank our video pioneering authors Chia Liu and Albert Esteve whose introduction to their paper you can see on YouTube at: http://youtu.be/vB3pKW1AjUw
