Read the research papers

Which papers support the explanations in this guide?

Document links open verified HTML reading versions on SPRFMO working-group websites where available. Papers without a verified HTML counterpart retain their official SPRFMO PDF links. Links between the guide’s own pages stay within the guide.

Which versions are linked?

HTML reading versions are linked for JM02, JM03 and JM05–JM09. These working publications may be updated separately from the submitted SC14 PDFs; they are not asserted to reproduce the exact submitted revision. Consult the official SC14 document page for the submitted versions, including revised JM05, JM12, JM13 and the meeting schedule. Scientific findings and recommendations retain the status described on the topic pages.

No verified HTML counterpart was found for JM01, JM04, JM10–JM21, Doc01, Doc02 or Doc04 (checked 8 September 2026). Their PDF links remain available below.
