Asia-Pacific Psychiatry is an international psychiatric journal focused on the Asia and Pacific Rim region, and is the official journal of the Pacific Rim College of Psychiatrics. Asia-Pacific Psychiatry enables psychiatric and other mental health professionals in the region to share their research, education programs and clinical experience with a larger international readership. The journal offers a venue for high quality research for and from the region in the face of minimal international publication availability for authors concerned with the region. This includes findings highlighting the diversity in psychiatric behaviour, treatment and outcome related to social, ethnic, cultural and economic differences of the region. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and reviews, as well as clinically and educationally focused papers on regional best practices. Images, videos, a young psychiatrist's corner, meeting reports, a journal club and contextual commentaries differentiate this journal from existing main stream psychiatry journals that are focused on other regions, or nationally focused within countries of Asia and the Pacific Rim. The Editors and the Publisher are particularly focused on helping authors develop ideas and improving the language of accepted submissions. Abstracting and Indexing Services: Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition (Thomson ISI), Science Citation Index Expanded (also known as SciSearch®), National Library of Australia. Asia-Pacific Psychiatry accepts articles for Open Access publication. Please see www.blackwellpublishing.com/appy and select author guidelines for further information about OnlineOpen.
