Why you should submit your research to the BMJ

Sudden infant death syndrome

Peter Fleming, a professor of infant health and developmental physiology at the Univerisy of Bristol, talks about his experience of publishing research in the BMJ. He covers the media's reaction, and the change in sleeping practice that resulted from his publication.

This is a case study of one of the papers mentioned in Why submit your research to the BMJ?
