<p>These papers represent <em>work to date at the time of publication</em> and may not necessarily form the basis for the authors’ final conclusions relating to the topic. It is likely, however, that papers will appear in some form in a journal or in conference proceedings after publication in this Series. Details of final journal/conference publication venues for these papers (where applicable) may be found through the <A HREF="http://divcom.otago.ac.nz/infosci/pubs/publicationsplash.htm" target="main">Staff Publications</A> pages.</p>
<p>Some papers are available in electronic form as indicated. Note that many of the pre-1997 papers have been converted from older file formats. We have endeavoured to convert the documents as best we can, but format translations are not always perfect, especially with respect to graphics. We are also slowly scanning older papers into PDFs. Please email <a href="mailto:dps@infoscience.otago.ac.nz">dps@infoscience.otago.ac.nz</a> if you would like hard copies of any of these papers.</p>
<p><A HREF="dpguidelines.htm">Guidelines for authors</A> are also available for members of the department who would like to submit a paper to the series.</p>
