NB! THE LIST NEEDS A MAJOR OVERHAUL AND SYSTEMATISATION - WILL DO IT WHEN THERE IS MORE TIME
Here is the (incomplete) list of my publications. If there is no copyright restrictions involved (which I have grown to consider inherently unfair - but these need to be fought by other measures, not by violating them), the publication also appears here (the default license being the GNU FDL; if someone feels that I have offended their rights somehow, please let me know and I remove it). In some earlier cases, the list just contains bibliographical data. However, in accordance with the [L] Open Access policy, I have since 2005 tried to [L] self-archive all the preprints for those profit-hungry publishers as well. In general, nowadays I try to choose publications which allow open access.
I decided to keep some Estonian-language documents in case someone is able to read also my native language - the language of documents is denoted with either EE (Estonian), FI (Finnish) or EN (English).
Writings use PDF format, while presentations are made into Macromedia Flash (some are also available in other formats) with the help of OpenOffice.org. If you do not have suitable software, please check [L] here for Acrobat Reader and [L] here for Flash Plugin.
