Journal Title：International Journal Of Methods In Psychiatric Research

The International Journal of Methods in Psychiatric Research (MPR) publishes high-standard original research of a technical, methodological, experimental and clinical nature, contributing to the theory, methodology, practice and evaluation of mental and behavioural disorders. The journal targets in particular detailed methodological and design papers from major national and international multicentre studies. There is a close working relationship with the US National Institute of Mental Health, the World Health Organisation (WHO) Diagnostic Instruments Committees, as well as several other European and international organisations.

MPR aims to publish rapidly articles of highest methodological quality in such areas as epidemiology, biostatistics, generics, psychopharmacology, psychology and the neurosciences. Articles informing about innovative and critical methodological, statistical and clinical issues, including nosology, can be submitted as regular papers and brief reports. Reviews are only occasionally accepted.

MPR seeks to monitor, discuss, influence and improve the standards of mental health and behavioral neuroscience research by providing a platform for rapid publication of outstanding contributions. As a quarterly journal MPR is a major source of information and ideas and is an important medium for students, clinicians and researchers in psychiatry, clinical psychology, epidemiology and the allied disciplines in the mental health field.

《國際精神病學(xué)研究方法雜志》（MPR）發(fā)表高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的原創(chuàng)技術(shù)、方法、實(shí)驗(yàn)和臨床研究，為精神和行為障礙的理論、方法、實(shí)踐和評(píng)估做出貢獻(xiàn)。該雜志特別針對(duì)來自主要國家和國際多中心研究的詳細(xì)方法和設(shè)計(jì)論文。與美國國家心理健康研究所、世界衛(wèi)生組織（WHO）診斷儀器委員會(huì)以及其他幾個(gè)歐洲和國際組織保持著密切的合作關(guān)系。

MPR 旨在迅速發(fā)表流行病學(xué)、生物統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)、仿制藥、精神藥理學(xué)、心理學(xué)和神經(jīng)科學(xué)等領(lǐng)域中方法學(xué)質(zhì)量最高的論文。有關(guān)創(chuàng)新和關(guān)鍵方法學(xué)、統(tǒng)計(jì)和臨床問題（包括疾病分類學(xué)）的文章可以作為普通論文和簡(jiǎn)要報(bào)告提交。評(píng)論僅偶爾被接受。

MPR 旨在通過提供一個(gè)平臺(tái)來快速發(fā)表杰出貢獻(xiàn)，以監(jiān)測(cè)、討論、影響和提高心理健康和行為神經(jīng)科學(xué)研究的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。作為一份季刊，MPR 是信息和思想的主要來源，也是精神病學(xué)、臨床心理學(xué)、流行病學(xué)和精神衛(wèi)生領(lǐng)域相關(guān)學(xué)科的學(xué)生、臨床醫(yī)生和研究人員的重要媒介。

International Journal Of Methods In Psychiatric Research創(chuàng)刊于1991年，由Wiley-Blackwell出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋醫(yī)學(xué) - 精神病學(xué)全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級(jí)別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對(duì)來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯(cuò)，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數(shù)2.4，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
