You can find lists of my publications in the University's Research Information System or on ORCID. Both are publicly accessible.
Most of my publications are also available in a digital version (if they weren't originally published digitally). Digital publications are usually available on the repository of our university library; many digital offprints can be found on Academia.edu. Otherwise you can go to our beautiful Departmental Library ...
