Overview

Publishing our findings is a major objective of our network and project. Publications will be accessible through this page as they are produced.

Note on IAI policy

The IAI explicitly states that The Grantee shall provide the IAI with an electronic copy of any publication it has made of the results of the project or of any other information prepared or produced as a result of this grant, and electronic copies of any audio or visual material, specifying the software and, where applicable hardware used. The IAI encourages all collaborating institutions to provide copies of all their publications to each other. When no electronic copies are available, paper version of publications must be supplied to the IAI.

The IAI requires that publications acknowledge DiverSus. See the dedicated page on Acknowledging the IAI.
