Abstract
The British Journal of Urology (BJU) was founded in 1929 by British urologists as an independent charitable company. Many specialist journals are owned either by their specialist associations or by a publisher. Neither situation applies to the BJU. This is an important distinction, bringing with it additional responsibilities for both the journal company and the editor. There have been five previous editors. I became editor in 1994 and was given a five-year term of office. The BJU Company appoints the editor who is then responsible for developing the journal in all its aspects. New developments, particularly those which have financial implications, must be approved by the BJU Company executive, who may take advice not only from the editor but also from the publishers and from any other outside expert that they choose.
