JCSS publications present the findings and assessments of the Center's
research staff. Each paper represents the work of a single investigator or a
team. Such teams may include research fellows who are not members of the
Center's staff. Views expressed in the Center's publications are those of the
authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Center, its trustees,
officers, or other .staff members or the organizations and individuals that
support its research. Thus the publication of a work by JCSS signifies that it
is deemed worthy of public consideration but does not imply endorsement of
conclusions or recommendations.
