In addition to material published directly by the NRFA, the archive produces a range of articles in the scientific literature. These are published to disseminate the results of research conducted by NRFA staff, in collating, managing and analysing the extensive data holdings of the NRFA. Many are authored in collaboration with other researchers from CEH, and sometimes external organisations, and some are produced as the output of specific research projects funded by external organisations. The following bibliography provides a list of selected Journal papers, reports and presentations published by NRFA staff on topics directly related to the archive.
