Thanks to Dave Murphy (EROI Guy) and Rembrandt Koppelaar for putting together this list of articles.

Let us know what you think of this idea. Both Dave and Rembrandt are in university settings, where they see many of these articles, and wanted to bring them to our attention. Sometimes one can get a fair amount from just reading the summary. For example, in "The role of non conventional oil in the attenuation of peak oil", the abstract makes it sound like the role is likely fairly small."

It would be good if all of the articles were free, but it looks like most of them require payment.

A fantastic idea! Thanks Dave and Rembrandt!

Here in the US I have found that you can access most journal articles by going to a State University library. They have always allowed me access to the library for free and that is normally how I get copies of the journal articles I would like.

A fantastic idea! Thanks Dave and Rembrandt!

I second that.

Compare the paper by de Castro, Miguel and Mediavilla - The role of non conventional oil in the attenuation of peak oil - Energy Policy 37:5, to pp. 48-62 of the modeling paper we wrote for the First Model Comparison by the UN's Global Modeler's Forum: Bogdonoff, Qu, and Barney - Possible Futures for Bangladesh, Tunisia, and the United States: A Technical Report, 1997. (available here: www.millennium-institute.org/resources/elibrary/papers/UNCSDLong.pdf )

Thanks. But for an article to be remotely useful on the internet it needs to be available free of charge. Otherwise, it all starts getting too expensive. Puting an article on a pay-per-view website, guarentees that it will get next to zero readership.

I would disagree, it is useful to see these summaries.
