We are pleased to announce that the first issue of Psychiatrics will appear in 2006 or 2007 as a new international journal.  It is interdisciplinary and aims to bring together different approaches for a diverse readership all over the world in psychiatry and mental illness. High quality papers will be accepted dealing with any aspect of psychiatric disorders, including biochemistry, psychopharmacology, psychoendocrinology, genetics, statistics, epidemiology, psychodynamics, psychotherapy, classification, clinical studies and studies of all types of treatment. Psychiatrics will provide a medium for the publication of high quality, peer-reviewed, original research articles, reviews and case reports in the field of psychiatry. It will be published quarterly.

In the next future, a new online submission and handling system, OSS, will be implemented for Psychiatrics. This is a web-based system with full online submission, review and status update capabilities. OSS allows you to upload files directly from your computer. This is part of our on-going efforts to improve the efficiency and accuracy of our editorial procedures and the quality and timeliness of the manuscripts published. We strongly encourage all authors to use OSS when it is active.

Psychiatrics accepts submissions, presented as original research, reviews, case reports or correspondence. Submissions regarding all types of papers are welcomed for publication. In general, all articles submitted are peer reviewed by at least two researchers expert in the field.
