Student BMJ is a monthly, international medical journal for medical students and junior doctors. It is published by the BMJ Group, which publishes the highly prestigious BMJ and over 30 other speciality journals.
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 Neil Chanchlani who works together with the current senior editor of BMJ.
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.
iPhone App
The site also has a native iPhone app.The app currently has five different categories in the main interface of the app and the articles can also be bookmarked.
