Functioning of the journal
BJSM operates an optional open peer review system, whereby reviewers can sign their reports if they wish. A high proportion of submissions are rejected without being sent out for external peer review on the grounds of priority, insufficient originality, scientific flaws or the absence of message that is important to the readers of the journal. The acceptance rate for original research submitted between July 2014 and June 2015 was 8%.
