The BMJ is inviting early-career researchers and doctors at all stages to submit case quiz articles for its Endgames section, with a focus on common clinical conditions supported by strong images.
The BMJ posted the call for submissions on its official account, encouraging doctors who want to publish in one of medicine’s most widely read journals to consider the Endgames format. The section features case quiz articles — short, image-led pieces built around everyday conditions that clinicians are likely to encounter in practice.
Submissions are open now. The BMJ has confirmed it welcomes contributions from doctors at any career stage, not only established academics or senior clinicians. That’s a deliberate choice — Endgames has long served as an accessible entry point for those earlier in their medical careers who want peer-reviewed publishing experience. However, BMJ author guidance specifies that at least one author must be a fully qualified consultant or general practitioner in a relevant field.
Each Endgames article centres on a clinical image paired with a diagnostic quiz, walking readers through a real-world case. The emphasis is on conditions seen regularly in practice rather than rare presentations, which keeps the content relevant to a broad readership.
Author guidance is available directly through The BMJ.
