Editorial Fellowships

BJGP Open offers editorial fellowships to students, researchers, or clinicians who have an interest in medical publishing. Fellows will join our team and be involved in medical editing, peer review, and journal production. They usually develop a personalised project during their time with us which can range from setting up a new blog, social media initiatives, projects to recruit reviewers, or research into aspects of publication science. Previous fellows have published their research projects in peer review journals and presented work at international conferences. Our current fellows are listed below.
