S.G. was the trainee editor of Psychiatric Bulletin and is now an editorial board member. F.O. is an editorial board member of Psychiatric Bulletin.
AIMS AND METHOD
We explored the contribution of trainees to the Psychiatric Bulletin by estimating the nature and proportion of papers by trainees published during a 5-year period: 2000-2004.
RESULTS
Nearly a third (30.7%) of all papers published during the 5 years were authored/co-authored by trainees. The predominant contribution was to education and training papers (66% of all the papers in this section), original papers (46%) and drug information quarterly papers (30%). The proportions of papers by trainees remained fairly consistent across the 5 years.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS
Overall, the Psychiatric Bulletin appears to be trainee-friendly and this should encourage trainees to submit papers to the Bulletin.
