This section of the LAHN website contains publications and working papers prepared by the project teams. Only one section offers public access, this being work that is already published or accepted for publication, together with working papers that are ideas in progress upon which authors would welcome comments. Citation of these materials should follow usual conventions and full reference to the publisher, place of publication etc. noting access through the LAHN website. If working papers state no citation without consultation with the authors, then contact the authors directly for further information.

The second folder contains materials that are available only to network teams and comprise work in progress or papers that have been submitted for publication and are not yet available for public review and dissemination. Our intention is to make materials publicly available as soon as possible.

All materials will be uploaded through the University of Texas host site. For further information please contact peter.ward@austin.utexas.edu noting Network Publications in the subject line.
