Zotero Database

It is highly recommended that you use the Zotero.org version, as that has better formatting and includes sorting options. If that is not an option, there is an automatically-generated list below.

The main library is divided up into 16 categories/subfolders based on the type of critique or focus they offer. Individual articles can & do belong to multiple categories. All tags on articles are automatically generated and do not reflect the author’s view. A tag cleanup is a planned improvement on the database, but it involves more work than is possible right now—volunteers welcomed!

Categories
