About the journal
|
BJU International is one of the most highly respected medical journals in the world. It presents unparalleled coverage of contemporary urological opinion, clinical reports and studies, innovations and developments. Every issue gives invaluable practical information in the form of primary papers, review articles, case reports, basic science articles, correspondence and book reviews, reports of meetings and BAUS reports.
BJU International has changed not only its name from British Journal of Urology, but also its philosophy and direction. The Journal contents are presented in a style which is easy to read. With the Journal there are regular Supplements on topics of current interest. A new feature of the Journal since 1999 has been the inclusion of a bimonthly issue of the European Urology Update Series, which is now fully integrated with BJU International. This is primarily a CME Series and each article is accompanied by ten multiple choice questions (MCQ). The MCQ answer sheet can be returned and credit points awarded as appropriate.
The archived CD-ROM of the previous years journal will be distributed free of charge to all existing subscribers.
