AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRY

The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry (ISSN 0004-8674) is a prestigious monthly peer-reviewed journal published by SAGE Publications in London on behalf of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP). As a leading venue in the field of psychiatry, it maintains a strong international reputation, evidenced by its 2022 impact factor of 5.0 and its classification in the second quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal ranking for the broad medical category, while also being indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI). The journal publishes high-quality original research, reviews, and commentaries covering a comprehensive spectrum of psychiatric disciplines, including clinical psychiatry, mental health services, epidemiology, neuroscience, and psychotherapy, with a particular emphasis on mental health issues within the Australasian region. Although it adheres to a non-open access model and is known for rigorous peer review processes that may result in longer evaluation times and selective acceptance rates, it remains a highly respected source for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers dedicated to advancing knowledge in psychiatry and mental health.
