BJPsych Advances, The Royal College of Psychiatrists’ peer-reviewed CPD journal for consultant psychiatrists, invites clinical experts to submit proposals for journal content in all areas of psychiatry covering the following article types:
- Articles - typically discuss comprehensive, practical approaches to clinical problems and explain the full range of therapeutic options, with useful features like MCQs, summary boxes, and associated commentaries commissioned by the Editor-in-Chief.
- Clinical Reflections - consider clinical, ethical or research dilemmas or uncertainties that present in day-to-day practice. They are the equivalent of thinking aloud and deliberating on the matter in hand.
- Refreshments - provide a short, succinct summary of a single topic to be read as a quick update by practising psychiatrists. The aim is to help readers improve their knowledge and practice in areas outside their field of expertise.
- Memory Lane - this series explores key works in psychiatry that should not be forgotten.
- Research Methods This section expands on various aspects of research methodology. The subject area is broad and could include aspects such as epidemiological research, general qualitative research, critiques of different measurement tools used in research etc. The focus is to provide educative pieces for new researchers and/or inexperienced investigators.
We would particularly welcome proposals in the areas of: addictions, ethics, liaison psychiatry, perinatal psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, rehabilitation and social.

Please note that submissions should be educational pieces aimed at CPD for consultant psychiatrists. BJPsych Advances does not publish research or systematic review papers, and academic quality is crucial.
To submit a proposal to the journal (including a summary of approximately 150 words), please read the instructions for authors carefully and send your proposal for the attention of the Managing Editor to [email protected].
