While Contemporary Argumentation and Debate no longer has a website, I aim to fix this and actualize what the journal itself once said :
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
The following is the compiled index of every file that I’ve found.
