BUILDING RESEARCH & INFORMATION - celebrated its 35th year in 2007

If you are not already reading this leading journal, see what readers and authors have said about BRI:

“BRI not only provides a comprehensive and timely coverage on the broadest range of important built environment current issues, but also maintains a commitment to in-depth coverage of specific themes.  Its ongoing coverage of building environmental performance and assessment, for example, provides those in building research, practice or policy with validated, cutting edge research and an essential international multidisciplinary perspective.”
Raymond J Cole
University of British Columbia, Canada

"I was very pleased with BRI's process and feedback: it was thorough, the reviews were informative and the editor didn't spare efforts in helping me getting the paper to fulfill the journal's requirements in terms of addressing the target audience, typically. This paper actually got me much more interest and feedback than I had hoped."
Marilyne Andersen
MIT, USA

“Building research, both nationally and internationally, traditionally follows strict disciplinary lines. New interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches need an international forum for information and discussion. BRI has followed this evolution and is today certainly the most attractive ‘trading zone' (Galison) for research, development and advanced practice.”
Niklaus Kohler
University of Karlsruhe, Germany

“BRI has a wider scope than its name might suggest: it carries papers which question theoretical assumptions and comments on issues of urgent interest to anyone interested in building and the future of the city. The journal is impressive and useful.”
Joseph Rykwert
University of Pennsylvania, USA

“I just received the special issue, “Visual Practices Images of Knowledge Work”. I look forward to savouring it like pieces of a good, dark Swiss chocolate bar that can be made to last several evenings after supper. What a great topic. I'll enjoy it by the gram!”
David Rousseau
Archemy Consulting Ltd, Canada

“I have found the whole process of submission to BRI demanding as it should be and exemplary. You go to more referees than other journals, it provokes much more interesting debate, certainly amongst the authors and well worth the additional input.”
Alan Short
University of Cambridge, UK

“I would like to take the opportunity to sincerely compliment BRI for publishing this special issue ‘Visual Practices: Images of Knowledge Work'. I have rarely found such a nice and informative collection of contributions, some of which are effectively leading edge even for our field!”
Davide Nicolini
Warwick Business School, UK

“For me, hand on heart, BRI is the finest journal in the field and without doubt it has one of the very best editors. Always fair, courteous and honest, he displays a level of professionalism rare in other journal editors. Authors and professionals alike acknowledge and respect these qualities.”
David Edwards
Loughborough University, UK

“On the whole, it has been a pleasure to go through the publishing process with BRI -
from a scientific point of view as well as thanks to the professional (and still personal) way in which matters are dealt by the editorial team. Publishing in BRI is both prestigious and a challenge: I will continue to submit material whenever I may find it to keep up to BRI's high standards.”
Pedro Gaspar
Technical University Of Lisbon, Portugal

"I enjoy the journal because of its high quality and the fact that it links the academic research community and professionals in practice, giving a strong applied focus to our research work and dissemination, which is important in the built environment".
Phil Banfill
Heriot-Watt University, UK

“Building Research & Information is a rare beam of light for me.”
