As part of our sustainability agenda, we have been working with our publishers, BMJ, to explore a more environmentally friendly way to access the journals. BMJ has developed a useful and easily accessible digital alternative called a ‘flipbook’ exclusively for BSG members which can be read on a phone, tablet, or computer. It has page-turning functionality and can be browsed from cover to cover like a printed journal, or you can go directly to a particular article from the table of contents. You can zoom in or out of the page as you read, the issue can be searched by keyword, and embedded links in article references take you to the abstract of cited papers.
You can click through to see an example of Gut [flipbooks.bmjjournals.com/26222/98046/] and Frontline Gastroenterology [flipbooks.bmjjournals.com/26222/97960/] in this new format. We hope you will enjoy the benefits of these exciting interactive editions.
From the April 2024 edition onwards, BSG members will default to receiving the ‘flipbook’ edition of the journals.
