BJU International
BJUI is constantly innovating to provide the urology community with a journal that is fresh in appearance and is easy to read. The journal is fully sectionalised and in full colour making it easier to use. BJUI aims to provide the very highest standard of research and clinical material for the urological community. These high standards are borne out by an increasing impact factor and a high rejection rate of 80%. BJUI publishes original articles, correspondence and book reviews on adult and pediatric urology. Clinical relevance is critical and the journal covers the entire breadth of urology under the following sections : Comments, Mini-Reviews, Urological Oncology (all areas of urological oncology as well as recent advances in diagnostic techniques.), Lower Urinary Tract, Sexual Medicine, Upper Urinary Tract, Reconstructive Urology, Paediatric Urology, Investigative Urology, Robotic & Laparoscopic Urology and the highly esteemed Surgery Illustrated. Authors can track their article online via the new service called Author Services, once it has been accepted, and follow it all the way through production. Accompanying BJUI are regular supplements on topics of current interest in urology.
