BJUI Compass Discount on Submission Fees

BJUI Compass is a second BJU International urology journal which is online-only and entirely open access. As a fully open access journal, all articles accepted by BJUI Compass are made freely available to read, download and share immediately on publication. To cover its costs, the journal levies an article publication charge (APC). 

USANZ members are eligible for a 30% discount which can be accessed by typing “USANZ” in the “other discounts” box.

The overriding theme of BJUI Compass is to support "Sound Science Criteria." The journal publishes original articles, reviews, comments and educational articles on all aspects of urology. The journal covers the entire breadth of urology including epidemiology, urological oncology, surgery, reconstruction, benign disease, upper urinary tract, urolithiasis, functional urology, endourology, andrology and sexual function.

This means that every piece of research that has been conducted in a sound and rigorous manner should be published somewhere. BJUI Compass can therefore include papers that are:

• mostly confirmatory knowledge
• clinical trials or comparative evidence that are negative
• novel concepts that may lack enough sample size or global population representation.
