Abstract

The utility of psychiatry research, when indexed as the number of times it is cited by other researchers, is most centrally predicted by the impact factor of the publishing journal1. In keeping, scientists' track record in high impact journals is directly related to academic promotions and merit increases in academic psychiatry institutions2, and the acquisition of research funding3. Thus, much pressure exists for psychiatric researchers to publish their research in high impact psychiatry journals.
