Affinity is the new publishing partnership programme for independent journals available from the BMJ Group.

BMJ has for many years offered a co-ownership publishing service, but in recent years the demand for us to provide a contract publishing service has grown. Our name is known around the world, representing excellence in medical publishing. Our standards are high, and our ethical approach respected. We are an experienced, stable and mature organization and it is these qualities that medical societies are increasingly telling us they need.

As the market for academic journals continues to change and become ever more competitive, we are finding that societies are looking for a different kind of support from their publishers. Our affinity programme offers a fresh approach – one built on personal and long-lasting relationships, one where each journal is treated as an individual and one that promotes the collaboration of leading medical societies around the world to make research articles as accessible and useful as possible.
