Frontiers in Psychiatry is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on translational and ‘bench-to-bedside’ approaches to improve therapeutic options for mental illness and consequently to improve patient treatment outcomes. Led by Field Chief Editor Prof Stefan Borgwardt (University of Lübeck, Germany), the journal publishes research across a wide spectrum of translational, basic, and clinical research in psychiatry, including all aspects of diagnosis, nature, causes, treatment, and public health aspects of mental illnesses. The journal seeks submissions that communicate translational progress and innovations in all fields of psychiatry, including but not limited to: ADHD addictive disorders adolescent and young adult psychiatry aging psychiatry anxiety and stress disorders autism behavioral and psychiatric genetics computational psychiatry digital mental health forensic psychiatry intellectual disabilities mental health occupational therapy molecular psychiatry mood disorders neuroimaging neurostimulation perinatal psychiatry personality disorders psychological therapy and psychosomatics psychopathology psychopharmacology public mental health schizophrenia sleep disorders social neuroscience social psychiatry and psychiatric rehabilitation. Studies on psychiatric diseases, predictive imaging and genomics, as well as computational modeling and novel biomarkers, which provide the foundations for the integrative bio-social context of public mental health, societal well-being and cutting-edge clinical practice and specialization are of particular interest. The journal actively welcomes submissions which support and advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 3: good health and well-being Manuscripts that focus primarily on the physiological aspects of diseases, such as cancer or stroke, without a foundation in psychiatric or mental health issues are not suitable for publication in this journal. Similarly, studies that primarily investigate the physical effects of treatments, such as side effects or motor function, without a foundation in mental health are also not within the scope of this journal. Furthermore, research that is purely statistical or demographic in nature, without a foundation in psychiatric practice or theory, is not appropriate for this journal. General Commentary articles as well as Book Reviews are only accepted in Frontiers in Psychiatry upon invitation. Frontiers in Psychiatry is committed to advancing the discovery and developments in the field by allowing unrestricted access to articles, and communicating scientific knowledge to researchers and the public alike. Frontiers’ journals require that manuscripts primarily comprising computational studies of public data, such as Mendelian Randomization or NHANES studies, must include appropriate validation. Please refer to the Frontiers Standards for research methodology policy, for more information. Manuscripts not adhering to these standards will not be considered.
