# IJMC Mind Uploading Special Issue published

The International Journal of Machine Consciousness recently published its [special issue on mind uploading](http://www.worldscinet.com/ijmc/04/0401/S17938430120401.html). The papers are paywalled, but as the editor of the issue, Ben Goertzel has put together a page that [links to the authors' preprints of the papers](http://wp.goertzel.org/?page_id=368). Preprint versions are available for most of the papers.

Below is a copy of the preprint page as it was at the time that this post was made. Note though that I'll be away for a couple of days, and thus be unable to update this page if new links get added.

> In June 2012 the [International Journal of Machine Consciousness](http://www.worldscinet.com/ijmc/) (edited by Antonio Chella) published a [Special Issue on Mind Uploading](http://www.worldscinet.com/ijmc/04/0401/S17938430120401.html), edited by Ben Goertzel and Matthew Ikle’.

> This page gathers links to informal, “preprint” versions of the papers in that Special Issue, hosted on the paper authors’ websites.   These preprint versions are not guaranteed to be identical to the final published versions, but the content should be essentially the same.   The list below contains the whole table of contents of the Special Issue; at the moment links to preprints are still being added to the list items as authors post them on their sites.
