Re: Where to find white papers?

[Tom Panzarella <tpanzarella@gmail.com>]

If there are particular researchers who's work you are interested in, go to their personal websites. They typically provide links to their publications on their CV or research pages. 

If you are just googling to find topics of interest, back your way into the above approach. I.e., 

1. Google for topic

2. Read abstract

3. If you like the abstract, google for one of the authors

4. Find their personal page

5. Get PDF of full paper from their CV or research page

If you (over) pay for ACM and/or IEEE membership, use the respective digital library search to get the paper. 

Hope that helps.

Hey folks,

So, during the long weekend, I figured it would be a good time to read some papers. Only problem is that I'm having some problems finding papers that are available to the general public. A decent amount of the stuff I found through google scholar were all behind payrolls paywalls.

So what are your go to places to find papers? General topics I'm interested in at this moment are GIS and type systems, but general topics are cool too.
