We highlight important papers published in peer-reviewed journals, and occasionally interesting articles from popular magazines, video presentations, etc. Any author can submit a highlight for consideration. SNF Editors select those deserving broad dissemination and also encourage submissions of highlights on work they consider important. These highlights appear in SNF immediately after acceptance, on a daily basis. Each Highlight on a peer-reviewed paper appears subsequently in the next quarterly Issue of SNF. We also highlight recent and technical results of importance, including information on useful tools, etc.
