About the Journal
Global Psychiatry Archives (2754-9380) is a self-published, peer-reviewed scientific psychiatric journal that aims to advance global mental health by making relevant scientific psychiatric knowledge easily accessible to all, i.e., mental health professionals, patients, families, and relatives from countries throughout the globe. We particularly want to support researchers and authors from the developing economies as well as from communities that don't have robust healthcare systems or where medical funding for research is unavailable.
We support and mentor new and young authors from across the globe to publish their research, especially on currently neglected areas of mental health care. Some of the most downloaded papers have been written by medical students, junior doctors, and young clinical psychologists.
Global Psychiatry Archives was founded in 2018 by Professor Reinhard Heun and colleagues (see editorial board) as a new online open-access journal with the aim of advancing global mental health by making relevant scientific knowledge easily accessible to all.
Publishing in psychiatry and mental health should be affordable to all potential authors independently of where they live or come from to allow research from all countries to reach the global readership and to contribute to the relevant development of psychiatry and mental health care. We keep the article processing charge low (currently £300 for published manuscripts, no other cost) and offer generous full or partial waivers for those in need. Publication will only depend on the quality of the manuscript, not the ability to pay.
