BESTNet Publications

BESTNet is expected to yield three types of publication:

  1. Dedicated volumes or special issues of journals arising out of BESTNet research workshops
  2. Collaborative papers between BESTNet fellows generated as part of the research training activities
  3. Collaborative synthetic papers by members of the network on issues stimulated by the research workshops

The following are associated with five research workshops held in May 2007 (Paris), October 2007 (Tempe), February 2008 (Seattle), April 2008 (Davis), May 2008 (Tempe):
