The SYMFOR Technical Note Series publishes reports produced using SYMFOR or relevant to applications of SYMFOR.

The aims of the series are to:

Form a comprehensive account of studies relating to SYMFOR,

Provide a forum for scientists from developing countries to publish their work on the international stage.

The web site provides a suitable location for scientific and development dissemination. The acceptance of reports as technical notes will be decided by research staff on the SYMFOR project, who may edit reports before they are accepted. Reports are acceptable both in English and other languages. It is suggested that publication in English will generally have greater impact. It may be possible to publish the same technical note in two languages on the web site. In all cases an abstract in English must be provided.
