BMJ Medicine missionThe covid-19 pandemic has been accompanied by an explosion in scientific discourse. Alongside the remarkable medical advances, we have witnessed a barrage of misinformation and bad science that has threatened public health and patient care. The need for timely and reliable medical information during the pandemic has reinforced the importance of robust journal processes.
Our promise is a high-quality, transparent and fast publication process. Our in-house experienced editorial team (closely aligned with The BMJ‘s) have the expertise to help you to optimise your work and disseminate your findings to a wide international audience.
