This paper examines the experience and motivation of junior doctors who successfully published in the Psychiatric Bulletin and The British Journal of Psychiatry, over a four month period. Most articles took over a year from first involvement to successful publication, although this varied according to the type of article. While having published is recognised to increase the likelihood of appointment to registrar and senior registrar posts, interest in the subject is frequently cited as a more important reason to publish among authors than enhancement of their curriculum vitae.
