Peer-reviewed medical journals
British Medical Journal
The BMJ (British Medical Journal) is an international peer reviewed medical journal and a fully “online first” publication. Their publishing model means that all articles appear on bmj.com before being included in an issue of the print journal. The website is updated daily with the BMJ’s latest original research, education, news, and comment articles, as well as podcasts, videos, and blogs.
The Lancet
The Lancet's prestigious heritage as one of the world's leading medical journals continues to inspire our authors and editors today as they strive for medical excellence in all that they publish. When Thomas Wakley founded The Lancet in 1823, he announced "A lancet can be an arched window to let in the light or it can be a sharp surgical instrument to cut out the dross and I intend to use it in both senses". This philosophy remains at the heart of the journal today.
New England Journal of Medicine
The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM.org) is dedicated to bringing physicians the best research and key information at the intersection of biomedical science and clinical practice, and to presenting the information in an understandable and clinically useful format. A career companion for physicians, NEJM keeps practicing physicians informed on developments that are important to their patients and keeps them connected to both clinical science and the values of being a good physician. The NEJM employs a highly rigorous peer-review and editing process to evaluate manuscripts for scientific accuracy, novelty, and importance. The editors have set policies to ensure that authors disclose all relevant financial associations and that those financial associations do not influence published content. These factors contribute to NEJM’s reputation as the "gold standard" for quality biomedical research and for the best practices in clinical medicine.
Social networking (not in a professional context)
Facebook is a very popular social networking medium. For example, there are a number of sites devoted to the MRCP on Facebook, including MRCP123 and THE MRCP EXAM.
Twitter is also hugely popular. Again, this should never be used to discuss things in a professional capacity.
