Reflections on Papers Past

The Reflections on Papers Past oral history project collects, through interviews with their authors, the back-stories of famous papers in Ecology and Evolution, as well as the authors’ reflections on their impact and relevance today. 'Famous' here implies papers that have been highly-cited, used as text-book examples and/or earned wide recognition in some other fashion. In addition to the full interviews, the website presents material from the interviews in the form of three exhibits:

1. Thematic collections of quotes that showcase the human stories behind scientific papers

2. An archive of photos and other visuals connected to the back-stories of papers

3. Papers annotated with author reflections.
