SHARE Working Paper Series

About the SHARE Working Paper Series

The SHARE Working Paper Series publishes pre-publication versions of research papers, book chapters, technical reports, and policy papers based on SHARE data.

The series aims to provide a timely platform for discussing findings based on SHARE data. As of July 2025, submissions are open not only to members of the SHARE network but also to external researchers using SHARE data.

To maintain quality and consistency, all submissions are reviewed by members of the SHARE Working Paper Editorial Board for relevance, scientific soundness, and formal compliance. While not peer-reviewed, the series ensures that basic academic and formatting standards are met. Authors remain responsible for the content and layout of their papers.

Working Papers and Technical Reports

In July 2019, the series was divided into two categories:

Working Papers feature substantive research based on SHARE data.
Technical Reports cover methodological or technical developments relevant to SHARE.

Publication and Discoverability

Accepted working papers are published on a pre-print server suited to their subject area—arXiv, bioRxiv, ChemRxiv, medRxiv, or Preprints.org—where they are also assigned a DOI. This ensures they are citable and easily indexed by academic databases such as Web of Science. In addition, each paper is made available on this website with the standard SHARE Working Paper cover.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions must be in Word or TeX format (please do not send PDFs). Authors are expected to:

Cite SHARE data and core literature appropriately
Include the required SHARE acknowledgement (see citation requirements)

The Editorial Board may request revisions prior to acceptance.

Please send submissions to: communications(at)share-eric.eu.

Members of SHARE Country Teams and other SHARE bodies
