BMJ Group is changing the way in which medical information is made useful
for all health care practitioners, students, researchers and patients
alike. Our online offering is constantly growing, and this is reflected in
over 3 million unique users visiting over 8 million pages online every
month across all BMJ Group products.
BMJ, the Group’s flagship journal, is one of the world’s leading and
trusted medical journals. BMJis leading the Group’s development online and
2009 will see more emphasis than ever on popular interactive features such
as regular blogs, podcasts and polls.
Here are some more key developments that you may find of interest:
BMJ
• BMJ now publishes all its articles online as soon as they are ready to
publish. This means we publish continuously online and not, as previously,
in a weekly package tied to the print journal. Continuous online publishing
gives BMJ readers the latest information to help them make the best medical
decisions.
• BMJ is committed to open access by ensuring that all its original
research remains free for authors and readers alike.
• BMJ has again increased its journal Impact Factor, it now stands at
9.723.
• BMJ will have an online back archive to its first issue in 1840
• New section Endgames – is an interactive quiz page offering a picture
quiz, case report, OnExamination question and statistics question
• BMJ has increased its topic collections from 250 to over 300.
BMJ Journals
• Full online archives (back to vol.1 issue 1) will be available for all 25
specialist journals from 2009. Subscribing Institutions will have exclusive
access to content for the current year plus the previous three. Content
older than three years will be free.
• Additional pagination – Heart will double its frequency from 12 issues
per year (144 pages) to 24 issues (96 pages). The British Journal of Sports
Medicine will increase to an additional 4 issues per year. Four times a
year Archives of Disease in Childhood will carry a distinct Paediatric and
Perinatal Drug Therapy (PPDT) section publishing original research,
reviews, comment and analysis in all areas of paediatric drug therapy.
• Impact factors – Most of our journals have seen their ISI impact factor
increase this year and retain their place as leading journals in their
fields. In particular, Gut has increased its impact factor to 10.015 (from
9.02), Thorax is now 6.226 (from 6.064), and the Annals of the Rheumatic
Diseases has an increased impact factor of 6.411 (from 5.767).
• New launch: BMJ Case Reports, launched in June 2008, publishes a high
volume of cases in all disciplines so that healthcare professionals,
researchers and others can easily find clinically important information on
common and rare conditions. An updated website will be launched in late
2008 and will allow users to find cases based on speciality and patient
demographics. Users will also be able to respond to published cases, sign
up for content alerts and RSS feeds, download images to power point and
much more.
Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB)
• DTB will be increasing its content by 50% from January 2009 (from 8 to 12
pages per edition)
• DTB’s entire archive back to 1962 will also be available online from
January.
• All institutional subscriptions have access to the archive back to 1994
included. Access to the 1962-1993 archive be available to purchase for a
one-time only fee.
BMJ Learning
• As well as continuing to increase the number of modules in existing
channels, BMJ Learning has recently launched a channel for the College of
Emergency Medicine, and will soon be launching a
dedicated channel for pre-hospital care staff, and also a channel for
medical students.
• The BMJ Group will be launching a Video on Demand service in 2009 that
will enable users to search and download relevant videos for their practice
and training.
• Masterclasses will continue to deliver a balanced portfolio of CPD
programmes for doctors, with a primary focus on enhancing the most popular
series for GPs: the two day general update.
• After the successful introduction of a Knowledge Based Assessment (KBA)
revision resource for Gastroenterology, OnExamination will continue to meet
the changing needs of medical exams by
providing further KBA revision resources for such areas as; geriatrics,
neurology, respiratory and nephrology.
BMJ Knowledge
• BMJ Clinical Evidence has had a series of continuous enhancements
throughout the year. These include the introduction of foreign language
navigation, patient information leaflets which summarise important
condition information in a language that patients understand, improved
search and browse functions, new PubMed abstracts for each systematic
review giving users a clear summary at a glance and new GRADE scores which
provide improved key messages for each intervention, structured around the
most clinically important outcomes.
• BMJ Updates have extended the BMJ Clinical Evidence search facility so
that users can now access the BMJ Updates database. This means that where
a user searches for a topic or condition not covered within BMJ Clinical
Evidence, they are now likely to get a result from BMJ Updates database.
