Welcome to our Downstream Processing Library.

This library contains citations for our publications in the field of downstream processing. Copyright restrictions preclude us from providing electronic copies for some entries, but you are welcome to download any linked files for your individual personal used. Entries are posted in reverse chronological order in each section. There is a lot of new material and we’ll be updating content regularly so feel free to visit as often as you like. New entries are prepared in Acrobat 7. If you need to update your copy of Acrobat Reader, you can download a free copy from http://www.adobe.com/.

If you wish to use any of these files in support of a report or publication, you can cite the web address in place of the journal. The addresses for even the earliest files have remained unchanged since they were first posted, so you can be confident that readers and editors will be able to find them.
