Do you have DOI references for these reaction rate calculations?

The DOIs are:

doi:10.1021/jp972365k (Fernandez et al. 1998)
doi:10.1029/2002GL016720 (Duff et al., 2003)
doi:10.1029/GM087p0001 (Roble 1995)

Also note that the Fernandez paper does not give the rate coefficients. These were calculated from the data in the paper by John Orlando, Doug Kinnison, and Jun Zhang. I am note sure if this should be mentioned or not.
