Theses, Journal Articles and Conference presentations and publications from members of the Unit of Processes

We are proud to present our work at many national and international conferences and to publish papers in respected journals. Here, you can see a summary of our latest articles and upcoming conference presentations.

Journal selection

When selecting a journal, we take into account the reputation of the journal, the length of time to recevie a decision and the ability to publish open access. More information is given by Anders Wändahl from the KTH Library on his GitHub page  (link to external website).
