Along with the majority of the world, BJU International stands with the Ukrainian people and condemns the violence, suffering and death caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
After careful consideration, all BJU International’s journals and platforms will pause the handling of any manuscript where the research is funded by the Russian state or where an author is based at a Russian institution. Recognising that scientific discourse should not be barred by political disagreements, we will continue to receive submissions of such manuscripts but will only proceed to review and publish them when Ukrainian clinicians can go back to caring for patients without hindrance in safe hospitals and clinics. We sincerely hope that day will come soon.
