This is the third journal survey we have carried out, and the second relating specifically to the
Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (the Journal). The first surveys showed that most College Fellows and Collegiate Members took several specialist and general journals, that among these the Journal was read significantly, and readers gave substantial support to the Journal and its continuation as a print journal. This survey aimed to find out our readers’ views on the individual components of the Journal, its international medical coverage, its frequency of publication, and sought individual readers’ views.
