As is often the case in academia, I am under pressure to publish scientific papers in for-profit journals, many of whom make immense profits on the back of our academic labour. This seems rather cheeky to me, given that we provide all the content, do all the peer review, and do all the editing and revision ourselves.
Unfortunately, due to the mess academic publishing finds itself in, I may not always be able to post all my papers here (though I shall do my best). However, should you find any copyrighted material of mine on the Web somewhere, please feel free to distribute it far and wide. Copyright law is a relic of a bygone era, and should be treated as such.
