Notes for educational institutions and students:

This web-site is extremely well visited by students and educational institutions and contains a wealth of free information. We do try to help educational institutions where we can and regularly respond to invitations to assist research and to lecture at Universities. But we are a commercial organisation and there is a limit as to how much free time we can give to help students with individual dissertations and assignments other than provide articles from our archives. You will gain marks for demonstrating good research techniques by quoting authoritative references and will loose marks for plagiarism, and we are happy for you to quote our website as a widely recognised authoritative source, but all our materials are protected by copyright and you should seek permission before using it and never claim that the work is your own.
