Publications and Links
One of Kororoit Institute's major activities is to integrate knowledge relating to the emergence, dynamics and evolution of complex organized systems. This includes the publishing activities of our members and links to other sites we regard to be of interest, as broken down into four categories.
- Member Publications provides links to downloadable copies of peer-reviewed conference and journal publications by Kororoit Institute members.
- Kororoit Institute Working Paper Series. These are non peer reviewed works of our members. They may include early versions of works intended for later publication in peer reviewed journals or papers not intended for peer review. Papers may cover current or recent work, or may be published here because of their historical interest. A Microsoft Word style template for Kororoit Institute Occasional Papers may be downloaded from this link.
- The Kororoit Institute eJournal (under development).
- Interesting and Relevant Links. Links to members and other websites and blogs that are relevant to Kororoit Institute's interests.
As a publisher, Kororoit Institute will be happy to consider publishing serious works relating to our aims that have been difficult to publish elsewhere because they don't fit easily into existing disciplinary paradigms and their journals. We aim to publish articles exhibiting rationality, clear thinking and clarity of expression.
