OUP centenary collection

Oxford University Press (OUP) has celebrated its 100 years of publishing by picking 100 papers, from the scores of thousands published in its 180 journals over the years, that have made "a significant impact in a particular field, that had changed perceptions, were the most highly cited articles, or that were recognised as simply outstanding peices of research." Amongst these 100 is a paper from the June 2000 edition of the Annals, the full text of which can be downloaded free from the Annals website by following the link below. This paper is still being downloaded over 100 times in most months, despite being over five years' old, and has had many citations.
