The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Paper aging and degradation: Recent findings and research methods (2011, background): “When the sample is confined, the reaction follows an autocatalytic pathway (Shahani et al. 2001; Zervos and Moropoulou 2005; Calvini et al. 2008).”
Deacidification for the conservation and preservation of paper-based works: a review. (2010, background): “The acceleration is due to autocatalysis, which is oxidation working in tandem with acid-catalyzed hydrolysis to produce a spiraling effect (Shahani 1995; Shahani et al. 2001; Zervos and Moropoulou 2005; Zervos 2007; Calvini et al. 2007, 2008) on which we elaborate later.”
New promises and future challenges of fractal calculus: From two-scale thermodynamics to fractal variational principle (2020, background): “Cellulose degradation is usually characterized in terms of DP and its evolution is commonly described by the well known Ekenstam equation or its modification: – Ekenstam equation [79-83]”
