Summary
With over 5000 journals indexed in PubMed, the announcement of a new journal generally elicits a raised brow along with some variation on these questions: Do we need another journal? Who can read even 10% of the journals covering neuropsychiatric science, either basic or clinical? Will more journals just permit more publishing of mediocre science? The answers depend on the journal or, on the topic. Who can read even 10% of the journals covering neuropsychiatric science, either basic or clinical? The parallel revolutions in basic neuroscience and genetics have not translated to a revolution in clinical psychiatry.
