Description
Summary:Closely aligned with The BMJ, we are looking for evidence-based, innovative research articles, methodological papers and provocative viewpoints with the potential to improve clinical practice, global policy in mental health, evidence-based training or the direction of future research. BMJ Mental Health will publish articles in all areas of mental health, including new topics such as digital health;11 12 precision psychiatry, risk prediction/stratification;13 consultation-liaison psychiatry;14 data science and computational mental health.15 Feel free to contact the editors to discuss your research and ideas—new submissions are open! For me this means three separate yet complementary things: (1) adopting a personalised approach, so people are assessed and treated as unique entities, not only with their individual clinical and demographic characteristics, but also with their own preferences and values; (2) implementing the proven best treatments in everyday clinical settings to materially improve the outcome of our patients, in the NHS and globally; (3) enrolling patients in clinical trials or other research protocols/programmes to offer them innovative treatments that are otherwise not available I stand for fighting stigma and ideology in mental health. BMJ journals offer waivers for the full APC where all authors are based in low-income countries. [...]a number of institutions have open access agreements with BMJ which can either cover the whole cost of open access publishing for authors at participating institutions or can allow authors to receive a discount of the APC.
