OPHI Working Papers

The OPHI Working Paper series is registered with an ISSN and each paper with an individual ISBN to enable citation and library referencing. The Working Papers are (often externally) refereed and then endorsed for publication by a research officer and/or the director of OPHI.  They are ‘permanent’ and will not be revised in their current form. Where Working Papers have been published as journal articles, background papers or book chapters, the link to the final published version is given in the ‘published as’ column. See the Research in Progress series for preliminary documents under revision.
