## **The British Student Doctor Journal**
The Foundation for Medical Publishing produces The British Student Doctor Journal (BSDJ), a high quality, open access, peer-reviewed, general medical journal, which publishes articles written primarily by medical students. In addition to publishing original research and systematic reviews, it also provides a platform to medical students to express original thought and reflections on clinical practice, student life and medical education.
All content is fully open access, available without subscription and with no authorship charges. All articles published in BSDJ go through a rigorous peer-review process, led by its student editorial team. The governance of the journal is overseen by the faculty advisory board, and the journal is published by Cardiff University Press (CUP) and funded by Cardiff University School of Medicine. The journal is a publication of The Foundation for Medical Publishing, a charitable incorporated organisation registered in England and Wales (1189006), itself a subsidiary of the Academy of Medical Educators.
The British Student Doctor Journal is proud to be the official journal of the Academy of Medical Educators.
The BSDJ is an accredited member of COPE (The Committee on Publication Ethics), reflecting the journal’s rigorous commitment to editorial best practice.
During the period October 2019 to September 2020 the BSDJ published two issues and two special supplements; Cardiff Centre for Medical Education (C4ME) and an LGBTQ+ supplement in association with GLADD (The Association of LGBTQ+Doctors and Dentists). The BSDJ published the top two most downloaded articles in the 2020/21 period of all CUP publications.
