Location related references - december 2025 collection
by Frank Plastria 04 Dec '25

04 Dec '25

Dear locater, Here is my last entry in 2025. Once more find below (and attached in BibteX) 100 references, already 23 published in 2026 issues, the 9 remaining of my 2025 collection and a good 64-pack of 2019, with a few snippets from the period in between. I restarted my bibliographic mails in the summer of 2023, after a ten-year silence on my front following my retirement from my university at the legal age of 65. But in the meantime I continued consulting the new appearing literature and collected all observed titles that were of potential interest of EWGLA members. This means that I had a large collection in stock that were not yet sent to this Ewgla list: all those from 2013 to 2023, and new ones appeared almost daily. As these were not in a suitable shape to communicate, and conversion to adequate BibTeX is a somewhat time-consuming task, I decided to work in monthly entries consisting on the one hand of the most recent new references found and on the other hand of the earlier collected ones in batches, working backwards in time. At first my monthly collections were of around 50 items, but this turned out to be too slow at bridging the full 10 year gap: I estimate the total number since 2013 at some 5000 titles, so this pace would have taken around 8 years to finish the backlog, much too long in my opinion and at my current age of 77! This is the reason why I increased the size of my monthly collections to 100, to be fairly sure to be able to finish this task within my lifetime and not leave a glaring hole in the location bibliography. Eventually someone else will have to take over for the future (I do not trust AI for that task). I sincerely hope that this quite high monthly number remains readable and useful to you. Let me wish you already a happy new year Sincerely Frank Plastria %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [1] Paulo Abreu, Daniel Santos, and Ana Barbosa-Povoa.
