Metadata and Open Access

All publications appear in reverse chronological order.

You can access the full text of most publications in one or more of the following ways.

DOI	The link on the DOI leads to the official publisher's version, often behind a paywall. Use it if you have institutional or personal access to the corresponding digital library or publication.
	The Gold Open Access logo indicates that the paper is openly available on the publisher's site through an Open Access, Open Archive, or similar policy.
	The link on the Green Open Access logo leads to a local copy, which is typically the pre-publication accepted version published under self-archiving policy rules.
	The link on the ACM Authorizer logo allows you to download for free the definitive version of my papers that have been published by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) through this page.
	The link on the SharedIt logo offers you for free read access to the definitive version of my papers that are shared through the Springer Nature SharedIt initiative.
