BMJ 'Mission' statement:
“The BMJ aims to help doctors everywhere practise better medicine and to influence the debate on health.”
The BMJ's reputation for excellence rests with its scientific and primary care research articles. From over 4500 articles that are submitted, around 16% are selected only after rigorous peer review and statistical checking.
Published weekly, the BMJ is one of the world's most widely read and influential medical journals.
The following provides a guide to published content:-
Authoritative Editorials written by experts from around the world, dealing concisely with a broader range of topical issues than any other medical journal.
Original Scientific Papers rigorously assessed for originality, accuracy, and clinical relevance by International referees.
Primary Care/General Practice providing excellent coverage of the latest primary healthcare research, highly relevant in today's fast moving medical environment.
Information in Practice helps doctors to manage the volume of information that confronts them, and keeps them up to date with what's happening on the Internet.
Clinical Review contains articles on recent advances in each discipline, fortnightly reviews, cautionary lessons of the week, and also includes the highly acclaimed ABC series on managing common conditions.
Education and Debate explores current controversies, ethical problems and difficult cases.
News covers all of the week's major medical stories wherever they happen.
Minerva gives a concise summary of important papers published in other medical journals.
Letters - a strong correspondence section ensures that readers can debate, amplify and question topics raised in recent issues. Plus other regular sections including Reviews, Medicopolitical Digest and Obituaries.
While its strengths lie in primary care research and clinical medicine, the BMJ is unique because of its general nature. Every issue is challenging and entertaining and contains information that will potentially be interesting and useful to all readers.
