ARCHELON PAPERS PUBLISHED IN SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS AND CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
(In chronological order)
The vast scientific work of ARCHELON can be seen in the large number of papers published mostly in scientific journals. We provide below a provisional list of all these papers; probably there are more which we couldn't locate. ARCHELON researchers and personnel as well as students working for ARCHELON have drafted these papers or co-authored them. Many of the papers below are accompanied by their full text in pdf format. You may download the papers you wish. In case you need a paper that does not appear as a pdf file, we may post a hard copy to you provided you send us your postal address at info@archelon.gr. Thank you!
