Student BMJ is a monthly, international medical journal for medical students and junior doctors. It is published by the BMJ Group.

Student BMJ was launched as a print journal in 1992 with the aim of publishing articles for medical students, and is compiled by a full-time student editor, who takes a year out from medical school. International expert authors and students work together to explain how to read research papers, provide practical careers advice, and put theory into practice both in print and online.

The current student editor is Éabha Lynn who works together with the current senior editor of BMJ.

History

Student BMJ was launched in print format in 1992, becoming the first international journal written specifically for medical students.^[1]

Articles

Most of the articles are written by medical students and are submitted rather than commissioned. Student BMJ comprises News, Editorials, Life (a range of articles including debates, ethics, art, history, politics, and student experiences), Careers, Education, Picture quizzes, Research explained (a student friendly appraisal of a BMJ research paper), Views and reviews, and Eyespy (short, quirky medical stories).

Peer review

Although it is a student journal, it functions as any other medical journal. Articles are peer-reviewed by students from all over the world. The journal receives about 50 submissions each month. A decision is made to accept a manuscript or not within eight weeks on average. Only a handful of the submissions are finally accepted.^{[citation needed]}

Impact and awards

The journal has won the Guardian Student Media Award twice.^{[citation needed]}

Other services

The editorial team writes a monthly email alert called 5 Minutes for Students, with short summaries of articles and other services from the BMJ Group. The site also has a native iPhone app, which currently has five different categories in the main interface and allows bookmarking of articles.
