There are over 70 papers written or co-authored by Professor Stephen Emery. This page provides access to those papers which are underlined. They are typically in Adobe Acrobat format. Click on the paper to open or download it. Papers "in press" are usually not available here until they have been published, so they are not linked yet (i.e. the first few papers in the list below).
Wise words from Dr O.G. Ingles "A paper worthy of publication should present either (1) new data (2) new data interpretation (3) new hypothesis or theory, or else (4) refutation of previous work".
