Learning Without Grades: A research laboratory's links to the traditional university examines the many ways that CAER contributes to student education by mirroring the the University of Kentucky's historical land grant mission of instruction - public service and research. Authored by Marybeth McAlister, CAER communications manager, this article appeared in the American Coal Council's Magazine, American Coal, issue #1, 2007.
A 2002 paper from the CAER's Clean Fuels and Chemicals (Catalysis) Group has recently been recognised in the "Top-50 most cited articles" as published in Elsevier's Catalysis journals 2002-2006 (as cited by Scopus). The article, written by CAER scientists including Gary Jacobs and Burt Davis, was published in the Applied Catalysis A: General Journal.
Being a member of the "top 50" club is quite a feat considering that almost 3.4 million articles, just in the catalysis topic area, were downloaded from Elsevier's ScienceDirect service during the past twelve months.
