SUMMARY

The Folding@Home program allows users to access scientific papers and results related to its research. Users can find some papers directly on the Folding@Home website at https://foldingathome.org/papers-results/. However, the availability of full versions depends on the publication's distribution rules, and many articles may only be accessible through local libraries or academic institutions. The content of these papers is technical and intended for a scientific audience.

  • Understanding of scientific publication distribution rules
  • Familiarity with accessing academic papers through platforms like Google Scholar
  • Basic knowledge of the Folding@Home program and its purpose

Some of the papers can be accessed from the Folding@home website: https://foldingathome.org/papers-results/

The distribution rules for published papers vary by the publication in which the paper appears. Due to these rules, a public web-source of each paper may not be immediately available. If full version is not linked below or available elsewhere on the Internet (Google Scholar can be helpful for this), most, if not all of these publications are freely available at a local municipal or collegial library. Note these articles are written for fellow scientists, so the contents are fairly technical.
