CBGM Bibliography

The following are publications on and interactions with the CBGM, with some overlap with essays on the ECM. Criterion for inclusion in the list below is at least a paragraph of discussion of the CBGM. The following publications may be divided into three categories. (1) Those written in 2017 or prior. ECM Acts was published in 2017 which used a new CBGM interface, and Tommy Wasserman and Peter Gurry’s A New Approach, was also published in 2017. Since then, there has been more clarification on how the method works. (2) Those that present extended analyses evaluating the CBGM or applying it in the author’s assessment of witnesses. (3) Those that offer only a relatively brief description of the CBGM without extensive critical engagement.
