About
Aims and scope
BMJ Medicine is a new open access, multispecialty journal from The BMJ. It exists to facilitate multidisciplinary collaboration and discussion, encouraging debate on controversial topics and the exchange of new knowledge and ideas to improve the health of patients and the public.
Closely aligned with The BMJ, BMJ Medicine prioritises influential research, reviews and methodology papers with the potential to improve medical practice, policy, education or future studies. The journal prioritises specialist research with wider general relevance that will influence clinical care, public health policy, medical education and the direction of future research. BMJ Medicine also publishes in depth specialty reviews and articles presenting new approaches to research methodology and reporting. BMJ Medicine is committed to partnering with patients across its content. This includes promoting the co-production of research and commissioned articles and conducting patient review alongside traditional peer review.
