Author Index
Issues (1) to Current
The author index is based in part on the published indexes, currently completed to issue (133). This work has been extended and entries amalgamated in this online version. As well as providing an alphabetical listing of authors, it also offers, via the search facility, an ideal way to locate many of the major entries to cave names and equipment covered by gear reviews as well as obituaries and expeditions.
Only references to major articles appear here – that is, articles that were listed on the contents page (plus, in some instances, larger reports in the news sections). The published indexes extend to all authors supplying even short news reports and letters, which are not included here.
References are provided in the form of issue number, date and page(s). Handbooks are designated H and numbered for convenience (click here for further information on handbooks and yearbooks).
Multiple authors (generally up to three) are entered with all names recorded as double or triple entries. Where more than three authors are involved, these are recorded under the first alphabetical author and marked et al (in some instances, all authors are included in this manner).
Any work of this scope is unlikely to be perfect: please let us know about any corrections that are required. If you are ordering a back issue to obtain a specific article, please double check the article title with the information on the relevant back issue page before placing your order; these are linked from each issue number. However, as some major news reports have also been included in this online index, not all references will appear on the contents page (this will usually be made evident by the low page number, as most news pages appear before p20 in the magazine).
