Note: The papers in draft stages (may be in pwg review or collaboration review) are listed in "Papers in progress". Not all papers are from ES PWG (ex: simulation/methods paper or some belong to the other PWG) but strongly related with ES studies.
The papers before a draft exists but a plan and outline exist are listed in "Planned papers".
