Topic Collections at BMJ Group
Making your research more discoverable
What is a Topic Collection?
A Topic Collection is a curated group of articles focused on a specific, narrow area of research within a journal. Led by guest editors and overseen by the journal’s Editor-in-Chief, these collections are open for submissions for a set period (typically six months). Once published, the articles are grouped on a dedicated landing page and promoted together to boost visibility, usage, and citations. Topic Collections help researchers stay current, foster new ideas, and enhance article discoverability and impact.
