SUGGESTED READINGS

I do presently read about 700 papers every year. (Not to mention online and blog articles…). This is a selection of those I find of great interest. It is a sort of “memoranda” (things to remember) for me, but if you find it useful, you are welcome! The papers are listed in the order in which I read—or re-read—them. The gem icon (
💎) means just that!
