Acknowledgements

Acknowledgements (Version 10.1 August 2024)

This acknowledgement list is intended to include all whose encouragement and contributions, large or small, have helped in the compilation of the ORL since work began on it in 2004, but it will always be incomplete because the ORL continuously receives information and constructive advice from so many people! We include authors of ground-breaking books. We also acknowledge those authors who have helped us by posting their papers promptly on ResearchGate or on open-access websites. The ORL working group members are no different from the rest of the human race in that we may have overlooked or simply forgotten to mention someone and so do let us know if your contribution or that of someone you know has not been properly acknowledged.
