1. Given the format and scope of the current preview, we limit the number of references to a few key papers to highlight certain aspects. For full referencing on the RAFT process the reader is referred to the reviews and books of Moad, Rizzardo, Thang, Barner-Kowollik, Perrier, Charreyre and others. See also reference 5.
