This page contains a list of classic papers, presentations and articles of interest by international reseachers. The papers have been arranged by publication date. Where downloadable versions of these are available, links have been provided and the format noted. Please note however, that many journals specifically prohibit the publication of the final form of papers which have been submitted to them, unless the availability of that publication is limited to peers within the same organisation.
