The journal ranks now 9 out of 126 psychiatric journals and is no. 4 (preceded only by the American Journal of Psychiatry, the Archives of General Psychiatry and the British Journal of Psychiatry) among journals of general psychiatry. The papers which received the highest number of citations during the period considered in the calculation of the new impact factor are the Special Articles by De Hert et al 1 on the metabolic syndrome in people with schizophrenia, by Zisook and Shear 2 on grief and bereavement, by Corrigan et al 3 on self-stigma, by Alarcón 4 on culture and psychiatric diagnosis, by Alexopoulos and Kelly 5 on geriatric depression, and by Krueger and Bezdjian 6 on dimensional concepts in psychiatry; the introductory papers by Ustun and Kennedy 7 and McGorry et al 8 for the Forums on the role of functional impairment in psychiatric diagnosis and on early intervention in psychosis; and the editorials by Maj on physical health care in persons with severe mental illness 9 and on the WPA Action Plan 10. The WPA is grateful to the authors, the referees and the editorial staff who made this accomplishment possible. References 1 De Hert M, Schreurs V, Vancampfort D et al.
