Press releases
The BMJ Publishing Group Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of the British Medical Association and publishes more than 20 specialist titles (BMJ Journals) in addition to the BMJ. Newsworthy material from these journals is regularly press released. This can include original research papers, commentaries, editorials/leading articles and letters, and also applies to articles published ahead of print (Online Firsts). The press releases aim to promote the journal, the science, and perform some public service. They reflect the content of the paper; they are not intended to endorse particular policies or boost the profile of individual organisations. A press release is an opportunity to manage media coverage, which can be especially important if the material is sensitive or controversial.

Our comprehensive media database means we can usually guarantee much greater coverage than if authors decide to go it alone and issue their own releases.
