The above list is by no means exhaustive. There are numerous other publications that I refer to frequently, however, for the purposes of this post, I wanted to provide only open-access articles. For those who are SIG13 members, check out the numerous publications on HNC that the organization provides, complimentary to readers! If you have a favorite open-access article that is not on this list, please reach out to me so that I can add it to this resource!
