Gregory C. Johnson: Publications

    Please click on linked titles of desired publications for pdf copies. If pdf copies can not be made available on this web site, links go the publication web site or in a few cases, the abstract. I may also be able to e-mail a pdf or provide a limited use link upon request for some manuscripts. Paper reprints of publications starting with a "+" are available, and I will happily send copies to those interested upon request. Paper reprints for publications starting with a "-" are either not yet available, in the custody of a co-author, or "sold out", so regrettably I have no copies to send.
