The bibliography on this website follows Julian’s own working methods. To keep track of his work, he assigned numbers to each of his writing projects on CBW issues, starting with his undergraduate dissertation which appears as Item 1. Julian maintained a complex information storage and retrieval system and he kept original copies of his writing projects under the letter ‘O’ within this system and so his internal working bibliography became known as the ‘O list’. As many of Julian’s publications had similar titles it seemed pragmatic to utilize the Item numbers for this bibliography, especially as Julian himself would insert notes to indicate where a new publication was an update of an earlier writing project. There are some gaps in the numbering where Julian had an idea for a paper but did not produce a written output.
The full list of what has been preserved from his writings, including selected drafts which indicate how his thinking on some issues developed, is available in the master bibliography [accessible to HSP Associates]. A number of his writings were never published in the traditional sense as they include some papers looking at issues within research programmes he was involved with.
Thematic lists
To make Julian’s writings more accessible, thematic lists are being prepared, such as his Pugwash working papers or his writings on assimilation.
In the meantime, to illustrate the breadth of his writing, every 20th item in the O-list is being put together in a page accessible to all logged in users of this site at INSERT LINK
O-list entries are mostly how Julian entered them, but they have been edited for some basic consistencies, such as in the presentation of dates, and for presenting details such as journal titles in full in order to make the list more easily readable. Notation has been introduced to enable a clear distinction between drafts of papers and openly published output.
Where possible, copies of papers have been scanned from Julian’s files. There are some papers for which only some versions have been found or for which the quality of reproduction makes scanning somewhat pointless (this is especially true of some papers produced through early printers or photocopiers or copies kept using carbon papers). Anyone aware of a scannable copy of any document missing from this list is encouraged to get in touch in order to make this set more complete.
