General Psychiatry (GPSYCH) is a peer-reviewed, open-access medical journal published by BMJ Publishing Group that serves a global audience of psychiatrists and mental health professionals. Established in 1959 as the Shanghai Archives of Psychiatry, it switched to publishing in English in 2012, and since 2018 it has appeared under its current name. The journal covers a broad spectrum of psychiatric research—including original studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses in both Chinese and English research, case reports, research methods, and a distinctive “Biostatistics in Psychiatry” section. With an impact factor around 5.3, GPSYCH plays a key role in facilitating international dialogue on cutting-edge psychiatric science.
