About us

Everything we do at BMJ Group is underpinned by our dedication to creating better evidence, better decisions, and better systems.

Our story

Providing research, knowledge, and education to health professionals since 1840

Since 1840, BMJ Group has been at the forefront of providing research, knowledge, and education to health professionals worldwide, envisioning a healthier world for all. With a global reach spanning five offices across the UK, the Americas, India, and China, we maintain our position as one of the most trusted brands in the world by providing the very best publishing expertise, digital health tools, and learning resources. Every month, over 11 million visitors frequent our websites to access the most relevant and reliable research available.

Evolved from the Provincial Medical and Surgical Journal to the esteemed general medical journal, The BMJ, our journey embodies continuous evolution and innovation. As pioneers of online medical publishing since 1995, we strive to uphold the highest editorial standards while embracing technological advancements. Our focus extends beyond publication metrics; we actively support authors from low and lower-middle-income countries, champion equity, diversity, and inclusion, and safeguard the integrity of scientific research globally. With BMJ New Ventures, our startup investment initiative, we work with partners aligned with our vision and values, fostering innovation and driving positive change in healthcare and beyond. 

From publishing research to investigating and responding to allegations of misconduct, we always treat researchers and institutions fairly and courteously so that they have a safe platform to share their research or raise concerns. We do this collectively by working in partnership with editors and publishing staff on all issues related to research integrity, at every stage of the publication process.

Today, a big focus for us is to help authors from low and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs) get published in their journal of choice. In 2022, 55.9% of all LMIC-originated research was published open access, up from 36.4% in 2021. We also align our editorial voice with our internal operational practices by setting the standard in the way we can all play a key role in making change in the areas of improving patient care, protecting the planet, and supporting social mobility.
