    "abstract": "We derive the general structure of the hadronic tensor required to describe\ndeep-inelastic scattering from an off-shell nucleon within a covariant\nformalism. Of the large number of possible off-shell structure functions we\nfind that only three contribute in the Bjorken limit. In our approach the usual\nambiguities encountered when discussing problems related to off-shellness in\ndeep-inelastic scattering are not present. The formulation therefore provides a\nclear framework within which one can discuss the various approximations and\nassumptions which have been used in earlier work. As examples, we investigate\nscattering from the deuteron, nuclear matter and dressed nucleons. The results\nof the full calculation are compared with those where various aspects of the\noff-shell structure are neglected, as well as with those of the convolution\nmodel.",
