Peer-reviewed Journal Articles

The list of our peer-reviewed Journal Articles features articles by BCDSS researchers and visiting scholars published in peer-reviewed journals. Committed to the principles of Open Access, we strive to provide free access to every article in the series via a PDF version. However, since only a few of the recent articles are openly accessible at this point, we offer at least a link to the abstracts and the journals.

Where to find the full articles:
Contracts with publishers and dataybase providers entitle many research and higher education institutions to facilitate access to journal articles. You may want to try the library website of your research institution to see whether the journal in question is accessible to you electronically. If you are interested in a particular article that is not available here as PDF, you may also contact the author. They will usually be able to send you the full text, which may differ slightly from the published version.
