Open preprints and notes

The catalogue is updated as materials are brought into a release-ready form. Each text passes internal review by at least one participant outside the author group. Final versions may differ from preprints; updates are flagged with a date and a short note in the heading.

Methodological materials

Methodological texts are not research publications; they are internal working documents we believe may be useful beyond the network. They are less formal and do not claim the status of original research.

Joint publications with the Moscow node

This section is filled in as joint texts appear. As of early 2026, one common review is in progress, devoted to comparing supervision models; the expected preprint date is summer 2026.

Conditions of use

All materials are released for non-commercial use with mandatory attribution. Citation and paraphrase in teaching and methodological materials are welcome. Translation and reissue in institutional sources require the authors' consent.
