Free JEZ Gems

Information for Authors

The JEZ celebrates its one hundredth anniversary in 2004 commencing with Volume 301. The JEZ is a venerable yet lively publication, changing with the times and attracting new submitters and readers. As part of our centennial celebration, we will profile some of the significant and interesting articles published over the past one hundred years. Individuals close to the subject matter described in the original papers will prepare the profiles. The reviewers will present the gist of the work, give their view of its significance, and how it relates to the state of science today. Approximately 15 articles, so called "JEZ Gems," have been selected, and these will appear in random order throughout the anniversary year.
