BJET Hybrid Articles
In addition to full, refereed articles and shorter Colloquium pieces, BJET includes a hybrid genre in which printed articles are linked to materials on the Blackwell website. This gives authors the opportunity of linking their contributions to interactive multimedia material, or to refer to large data sets which cannot be accommodated in the printed journal. It also makes it possible for those readers who do not have easy access to the internet to read these accounts: opportunities which would not be available if the material was only published on-line.  For further information, please click here.
