This publication incorporates the material from previously published lists; it therefore replaces them:

1966-1992 ISBN 968-6923-00-4 AGRIS 94-021078

1966-1994 ISBN 968-6923-46-2 AGRIS 96-081206

1966-1996 ISBN 968-6923-86-1 AGRIS 1998-027902

1966-1999 ISBN 970-648-054-4 AGRIS 2002-033636

For the future, CIMMYT plans to establish a database available on its website at www.cimmyt.org and thus provide access to articles published in 2003 and subsequent years.

 

FOREWORD

The scope of this publication is limited: it covers only journal articles - not conference papers, not book chapters, not newsletters, not theses, not CIMMYT imprints. Thus it represents only part of CIMMYT's published output. And the search for material went back only to 1966, the date of the official establishment of the Center; so the compilation omits the very important work done by CIMMYT's antecedent organizations.

To avoid inconsistencies, we have adopted tight rules of admissibility and apply them rigorously:

  • Only articles resulting from CIMMYT's research program
  • Only articles that were subject to an independent peer review

Part A lists articles resulting from research carried out within CIMMYT or in cooperation with advanced research institutions. Typically, there is an author who is a member of CIMMYT's staff; often, however, the Center's involvement is represented by a visiting scientist or graduate student who reports work carried out while on assignment at CIMMYT. In a few cases, the whole work has been done by other scientists in other institutions but, if it was partly or wholly financed by CIMMYT, or if it was identified as part of a collaborative project with CIMMYT, then the resulting article is included as a product of the Center's overall program.

Excluded are those articles that were written after the authors joined CIMMYT's staff but to report work carried out in their previous employments (not, therefore, part of CIMMYT's program): the exclusion remains even when 'CIMMYT' is given as the author's affiliation. To balance this, we have tried to find and include those articles describing CIMMYT work that were written after the authors had moved elsewhere.

CIMMYT's mission stresses its cooperation with NARS: resulting papers are listed separately in Part B. Typically, there is an explicit statement that the article describes cooperative work, but this fact can also be inferred when CIMMYT and NARS staff are named as co-authors.

However, even when CIMMYT, or one of its staff, is named in a paper that reports work at a cooperating institution, the paper is excluded from either Part of the present list (a) when the Center's only contribution has been to provide seed, or (b) when the staff member's role is limited to that of a post facto reviewer (or asesor intelectual). Also, articles announcing the release or registration of germplasm or new cultivars are not listed here but in a separate compilation.

By applying the rule requiring independent peer review, we are able to include the refereed 'articles' that have been published, starting 1994, in Plant Genetic Resources Newsletter as well as the 'research articles', starting 1990, in Wheat Information Service; on the other hand, we omit articles from journals that did not use external reviewers, such as Development Policy Review, Plant Disease Reporter (before 1975) and Rachis. More importantly, the rule requires the exclusion of the conference papers that journals publish in special sections for which the editors waive the usual peer reviews _ for example, the annual "proceedings" issue (No. 5) of the American Journal of Agricultural Economics. However, a conference paper is included if there is evidence that it has been subject to independent review, as when there are separate dates for 'received' and 'accepted'.

Entries in Part A are prefixed in the form 1967 ATHWAL, the year of publication followed by the principal surname of the first author. Entries in Part B are prefixed in the form EC 1989 BYERLEE, the country code for the cooperating NARS, followed by the year of publication and the principal surname of the first author. In both Parts, the entries are then listed in the alphanumeric sequence of their prefixes.

The compiler offers his apologies if he has omitted any items that would have been eligible under the rules outlined on the previous page. Authors are invited to propose additions by contacting him directly - j.woolston@cgiar.org.

AVAILABILITY OF DOCUMENTS A copy of every listed article is available for consultation by users of CIMMYT's library. Other interested persons are advised, in the first place, to apply to their own libraries. Wherever possible, we have given AGRIS numbers to assist those who use these numbers for filing their collections of reprints and photocopies. Librarians unable to meet the needs of their clients are invited - as a last resort - to contact the compiler for copies of individual items from this list.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The compiler thanks his past and present colleagues in the CIMMYT Library for their cooperation in constructing this compilation. Lucia Segura C. has conscientiously maintained the computer file and the collection of documents.
