JARPA/JARPAII/NEWREP-A
Scientific documents to the International Whaling Commission (IWC) Scientific Committee and other scientific meeting of intergovernmental organizations

List of scientific papers based on data and samples collected by JARPA, JARPAII and NEWREP-A.

Note: L-J= document or publication based on lethal sampling by Japanese scientists; L-F= lethal, foreign scientist; NL-J= nonlethal, Japanese scientist; NL-F= non-lethal, foreign scientist; L,NL-J= lethal and non-lethal, Japanese scientist.

Documents or peer-reviewed publications having as a first author a foreign scientist commonly followed a data request or collaboration research agreement with ICR. In a few cases foreign scientists have used published data from JARPA or JARPAII or NEWREP-A in their analyses and papers, without a formal agreement with ICR. These cases are indicated by a symbol (&).

References for documents presented to the IWC Scientific Committee follow the format/style determined by the Scientific Committee. All these documents are available from the IWC Secretariat upon request. Recent documents are also available at the IWC website (http://iwc.int/sc-documents).
