To review all collections, visit the Editor’s Choice section of ps.psychiatryonline.org.Among the many significant gaps between availability of mental health care and need for these services in the United States, access to timely diagnosis and treatment is particularly limited in rural areas. Growing problems of isolation, depression, and substance use in rural communities have magnified the impact of the country's shortage of mental health professionals on rural populations. Despite the need to recruit mental health professionals to rural areas, the teaching, research, and employment opportunities tend to be more concentrated in urban areas. Challenges in rural mental health care include inadequate workforce, varying levels and quality of training of new and existing personnel, and inequitable access to care. This collection highlights ongoing efforts to develop an adequate and sustainable workforce to provide rural behavioral health care.The first set of articles describes the importance of culturally appropriate, patient-centered services and community stakeholder engagement to meet the mental health needs of rural communities. The next section highlights the importance of addressing the shortages of psychiatrists and behavioral health professionals in rural America, including implementing support programs aimed at increasing engagement of health professionals. The final group of articles examines how technology and telepsychiatry have expanded mental health access in rural communities both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Examples include the complexities of designing, implementing, and sustaining telepsychiatry to maximize benefits for rural populations.Community integration and recovery-oriented care in rural areasFrontline ReportsPeer Support Program for Veterans in Rural AreasJain S, Hernandez JM, Lindley SE, et al.Psychiatr Serv 2014; 65:117710.1176/appi.ps.201300470Open ForumThe Changing Context of Rural America: A Call to Examine the Impact of Social Change on Mental Health and Mental Health CareCarpenter-Song E, Snell-Rood CPsychiatr Serv 2017; 68:503–50610.1176/appi.ps.201300470ArticleAddressing Mental Health Needs: Perspectives of African Americans Living in the Rural SouthHaynes TF, Cheney AM, Sullivan JG, et al.Psychiatr Serv 2017; 68:573–57810.1176/appi.ps.201300470LetterFlexible Assertive Community TreatmentHubbeling DAA, Alonso-Vicente M, Firn FPsychiatr Serv 2017; 68:98310.1176/appi.ps.201300470Addressing shortages of mental health professionals in rural areasLetterAddressing the Shortage of Psychiatrists in Rural AreasDewan M, Meszaros ZS, Manring JPsychiatr Serv 2014; 65:150810.1176/appi.ps.201300470LetterConsultant Psychiatrists' Role in Ensuring High-Quality Care From NonspecialistsAcharya B, Swar SBPsychiatr Serv 2016;67:81610.1176/appi.ps.201300470Frontline ReportsAddressing the Opioid Epidemic in Rural AmericaFlaherty MT, Stuby P, Kose WPsychiatr Serv 2018; 69:111410.1176/appi.ps.201300470Brief ReportsEngagement With Project ECHO to Increase Medication-Assisted Treatment in Rural Primary CareSalvador J, Bhatt S, Fowler R, et al.Psychiatr Serv 2019;70:1157–116010.1176/appi.ps.201300470Improving access and continuity of rural mental health care with telepsychiatryArticleAssessing Telemedicine Utilization by Using Medicaid Claims DataDouglas MDD, Xu J, Heggs A, et al.Psychiatr Serv 2017; 68:173–17810.1176/appi.ps.201300470CommentaryTelemedicine for Mental Health in the United States: Making Progress, Still a Long Way to GoBarnett ML, Huskamp HAPsychiatr Serv 2020; 71:197–19810.1176/appi.ps.201300470Promoting High-Value Mental Health CareUsing Continuous Quality Improvement to Design and Implement a Telepsychiatry Program in Rural IllinoisMahmoud H, Vogt EL, Dahdouh R, et al.Psychiatr Serv 2020; 71:860–86310.1176/appi.ps.201300470ArticleRural-Nonrural Differences in Telemedicine Use for Mental and Substance Use Disorders Among Medicaid BeneficiariesCreedon TB, Schrader KE, O'Brien PL, et al.Psychiatr Serv 2020; 71: 756–76410.1176/appi.ps.201300470State Mental Health PolicyAn Innovative Approach to Care: Integrating Mental Health Services Through Telemedicine in Rural School-Based Health CentersPradhan T, Six-Workman EA, Law K-BPsychiatr Serv 2019; 70:239–24210.1176/appi.ps.201300470 FiguresReferencesCited byDetailsCited byNone Volume 71Issue 9 September 01, 2020Pages 984-985 Metrics PDF download History Published online 1 September 2020 Published in print 1 September 2020

WRITING A SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE: DESCRIBING RESULTS

The presentation of research results is definitely an important part of any scientific article. On the one hand, the findings of the conducted research should be explained in as much detail as possible, whereas on the other, the obtained results must be clear, understandable and relevant. The previous editorials analysed the elements of a scientific article such as the title and summary (Lamanauskas, 2019a), introduction (Lamanauskas, 2019b) and the description of methodology (Lamanauskas, 2020). This editorial briefly discusses the optimal presentation of research results treated as one of the most interesting stages in preparing a scientific article and requires effort, intensive work and creativity. Alternatively, both methodology and research results (empirical research in particular) are considered the most important parts of a manuscript (Fox & Jennings, 2014). As expected, many important points related to the description of research results are given in APA 7th. ed. (2019), and therefore are not intended to be discussed in detail. Although APA standards are widespread, other criteria are also admitted by scientific community and focus in this editorial is more oriented on the practical subjects of academic writing and the most common mistakes.

L&O Methods Seeks Several New Associate Editors

The ASLO journals routinely rebalance their Associate Editor teams to address the evolution of subject matter being submitted, and to replace Associate Editors who have served their appointment terms. It also provides opportunities for ASLO members to participate in our journals, and add editorial work to their CVs! I am currently seeking additional expertise in several areas of active methods development including image capture and analysis systems, machine learning for (semi)autonomous analytical systems (e.g., object recognition, data mining, classification systems), digital holography, dietary and other trophic markers, hydroacoustics (e.g., bubbles, fish aggregation), autonomous and remotely controlled instrumentation, and fish ecology and biology. I welcome inquiries from early career to senior scientists with reviewing experience (manuscripts, proposals) and a background in methods development. Previous editorial experience is not necessary—this is an opportunity to learn! Expressions of interest in any area not mentioned above are very welcome, especially if you think that your expertise would complement that of the existing Associate Editor team. If you are interested, please contact me at lomethods-editor@aslo.org; I will be happy to provide information and discuss how you think you could contribute.

La censura contra Discurso de todos los diablos de Quevedo atribuida a Niseno, en un manuscrito del siglo

Este artículo da noticia de un manuscrito del siglo xviii que copia una censura contra Discurso de todos los diablos de Quevedo, datada en 1629. Editores anteriores la publicaron, basándose en un supuesto autógrafo de Diego Niseno, hoy perdido. En ausencia de dicha fuente, la copia de la Real Biblioteca de Madrid es la única conservada. El manuscrito carece de atribución, y su título es más amplio.

An Interview with Charls Pearson

Abstract Current Peirce Section editor Cary Campbell, interviews previous section editor Charls Pearson, on his life and work studying and systematizing C. S. Peirce’s semiotic science. Central aspects of Pearson’s philosophical project are discussed, such as, in particular, his proposal that semiotic logic leads to an integrated methodology of research and inquiry, bridging phenomenology and science. Additionally, Pearson discusses his Universal Sign Structure Theory (USST), and comments on recent post-Peircean developments in biosemiotics.

New Team, Same Mission: JoGSS as a Broad Tent for Global Security Research

This is an exciting time to be taking on the editorship of the Journal of Global Security Studies (JoGSS). The discipline of security studies appears to us to be in a creative and fragmenting state, with more scholars analyzing more issues in more diverse ways. We have the previous editorial team to thank for helping to foster that diversity. The astonishing range of articles they have published in the past five years demonstrates that their aspiration for the journal to be a “big tent” has been fulfilled. From the first issue, with Stacie Goddard and Daniel Nexon redescribing power politics, Laura Sjoberg's gendered analysis of security as felt experience, and Michael Ward's discussion of prediction, to the final issue, with Surulola Eke looking at counterinsurgency against Boko Haram, Jennifer Spindel and Robert Ralston's inquiry into transgender military inclusion and unit cohesion, and Tiffany Chu's article linking interstate rivalry to respect for human rights and acceptance of refugees, JoGSS has published an eclectic mix of articles on global security matters.

Editorial

A surgeon interested and involved in education and training, commented positively on one of my previous editorials in which I said that '…. the wrong content will very easily cross the line from education to brain wash'. He hence asked'…. how to know that I am not brain washing people while claiming educating them?' I rephrased his question into: 'how to avoid brain wash during education?' To this I would say: - The best protection against brain wash in general is a free mind developed during education.

The Annual Review of Applied Linguistics at 40: Looking Back and Moving Ahead

AbstractIt is a privilege to be Editor-in-Chief of the Annual Review of Applied Linguistics in 2020 as it celebrates its 40th year. This is my fifth issue as Editor. I will begin this short introduction by paying tribute, with the help of Bill Grabe (Northern Arizona University), to the founding editor of the journal, Robert Kaplan (1929–2020). Without Robert Kaplan, none of us would be reading these pages. We will then turn to some comments from each of the previous editors on a few of the highlights of their time editing the journal, along with words for the future. After this, I will describe some recent updates, go through a few of the historical successes of the journal, and then turn to the contents of the exciting current issue, “Looking back and moving ahead.”

RETRACTED: Solvability of boundary value problems for the general Schrödinger equation via Schrödinger-type identity methods

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editors-in-Chief for several reasons: • After a thorough investigation, the current Editors-in-Chief have concluded that this article was mistakenly accepted by a previous handling editor based upon the positive advice of at least one inappropriate reviewer report. While the reviewer was fully independent of the authors, the report failed to address the shortfalls of the paper. • During submission, the authors of this paper claimed originally to be from a prominent international university. During revision they changed their affiliation to: School of Statistics and Mathematics, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, Wuhan 430073, China. When we approached the authors for an explanation, they confessed to having no connection with the original university and failed to provide a logical explanation why they provided a false affiliation in their original submission. Overall, this paper is a clear violation of the fundamentals of peer review, our publishing policies, and publishing ethics standards. Apologies are offered to the readers.

Brexit - Consequences for the UK's Oral Health Workforce?

On Friday, 20 December 2019, after three and a half years of discussion the Parliament of the United Kingdom (UK) voted decisively that this country should leave the European Union (EU). For many of us this was a sad day. However, this political decision has been made and intensive negotiations will now take place between the UK and the EU's negotiating teams to agree the details for the UK's future relationship with the EU. It is still far from clear exactly what the consequences of the resulting deal will be for both parties. A number of previous articles and editorials have speculated on the possible consequences for health and oral health in the UK. Key areas include workforce, research and regulations for medicines and medical and dental equipment. This editorial will consider the implications for the UK's Oral healthcare workforce.

Cantigas with dotted rhythm

The Cantigas de Santa Maria comprise over 400 song texts and melodies commissioned by Alfonso X of Castile, written as an expression of courtly devotion to the Virgin Mary. Full editions of the Cantigas already exist by Higini Anglès (1943–64), Pla Sales (2001) and Chris Elmes (2004–14), but Martin G. Cunningham’s edition and study of 16 songs is a most welcome addition to the field. As its title suggests, this study focuses on a handful of Cantigas that exhibit elements of dotted rhythm in ternary metre. Given that some of the most polemical musicological debate has centred around the Cantigas’ rhythmical interpretation, Cunningham’s editions are invaluable both for their novel approach, and their engagement with existing debate. Cunningham’s volume is structured into chapters—unusual for editorial work—with each section addressing songs that exhibit similar rhythmic behaviours. Discussion of previous editorial approaches prefaces the editions, and here Cunningham gives approving weight both to Manuel Pedro Ferreira’s study of ‘compressed’ mode III songs (2014) and David Wulstan’s theory of ‘bagpipe-rhythm’ (2000 and 2001). Cunningham then provides an overview of the differing notational styles in the three sources that survive with notation: the earlier Códice de Toledo (To), and the two sources at El Escorial, the Códice Rico (T) and the Códice de los Musicos (E). Here Cunningham makes two important observations. First, that rules of alteration—which may be expressed in the brevis of the later codices T and E—do not automatically translate when applied to the rhomb forms in codex To. Second, that To’s perfected brevis corresponds to its short-stemmed virga, whereas the brevis recta in T and E does not correspond to the visually similar perfect longa. By comparing the notation of songs in all three codices, Cunningham is able to argue for the presence of dotted rhythm, even if this is not explicitly called out in the source.

Tibåt Mårqe: A New Edition with English Translation

This contribution presents a short introduction to the new edition of Tibåt Mårqe. The oldest manuscript of Tibåt Mårqe dates from the 14th century but only fragments of it are preserved. Previous editors of Tibåt Mårqe included those fragments in their editions which, by necessity, were based on a later, less reliable version of this collection of Samaritan midrashim. The recent discovery of large portions of the 14th century manuscript of Tibåt Mårqe in the National Library of Russia in St. Petersburg made it possible for me to fill most of the gaps. The new edition presented here is therefore based on an improved instrument of research in the domain of Samaritan culture.
