Comprehensive Psychiatry

Scope

Comprehensive Psychiatry is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes on all aspects of psychiatry and mental health. The mission of this journal is to disseminate cutting edge knowledge in order to improve patient care and advance the understanding of mental illness. With the support of an expanded international team of editors and peer reviewers, we aim to publish high quality papers with a particular emphasis on the clinical implications of the work including the improved understanding of psychopathology. We encourage our authors to adopt an accessible approach to presenting their findings, to promote the fullest engagement with clinicians and other interested parties. Through our new open access policy, we expect our papers will deliver the widest global impact, opening up fruitful scientific engagement with researchers outside the immediate circle, as well as with mental health clinicians, interested policy-makers and the public.
