        WHERE DO DATABASES FOR THE DATABASE BANK COME FROM?

All users of SuperMemo software are invited to submit databases to
SuperMemo world for no-cost evaluation. Selected databases will be
added to the SuperMemo World's Database Bank and distributed with
other SuperMemo World's products.
All authors of selected databases will receive royalties under terms
agreed upon with SuperMemo World (usually 10% of the end-user price
of the database).

Chances of positive evaluation increase greatly if you have used the
database yourself and can send it in original form (native database),
i.e., with your learning process included, so that parameters such as
factor distribution, interval distribution, burden, etc., can be inspected.
These parameters can also be used to classify your database by difficulty
of particular items.

Important! If you are a user of an illegal copy of SuperMemo, you can
  obtain a registered copy upon contributing your own database to the
  Database Bank, under these conditions: (1) the database should have
  no fewer than 5000 items, and (2) its ranking, determined by SuperMemo
  World or a commissioned expert, should be at least 6.
  You can also obtain SuperMemo by contributing your database as an ASCII
  text file of questions and answers.

Note: SuperMemo World distributes only databases compatible with
      SuperMemo versions 6 and higher. However, you can send your
      SM2 or SM5 databases, and they will be upgraded to the SM6
      format

    WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPLES OF DATABASE PRICING?

Upon adding a database to the Database Bank, SuperMemo World ranks it on
a scale from 0 to 10, reflecting the quality of the database in terms of
item ordering, knowledge-structuring, factual consistency, and linguistic
correctness.
Unless stipulated otherwise, the price of the database is determined
according to the formula:

                               3
       price = (items * ranking / 150000) [$]

where:
   price -   price in dollars
   items -   number of items in the database
   ranking - ranking of the database on the 0-10 grade scale

For example, English Grammar database which contains 3000 items and is
ranked for quality 7 is priced at 3000*(7*7*7)/150000=6.86, which is
rounded to $7.

Small, low-price databases are sold in database mixes priced at no
less than $5. Most databases and database mixes range in price from
$5 to $20. For the current offer of database mixes and pricing write
to SuperMemo World (address at the bottom of this file).

               ANNUAL BEST DATABASE COMPETITION

 SuperMemo World organizes the Best Database Competition in which all
authors of new databases may take part. SuperMemo World invites respected
journalists and scientists to sit on the jury.
Winners obtain awards in cash and prizes.
The closing date for entry is December 31 of each year.
