The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry/La revue canadienne de psychiatrie is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal published originally by the Canadian Psychiatric Association. Since January 2015 it has been published by SAGE. It covers all aspects of psychiatry. Articles are published in English or French, with abstracts in both languages. The journal publishes original research papers, systematic reviews, book reviews, letters to the editor, and official position papers, position statements, policy papers, and clinical practice guidelines of the Canadian Psychiatric Association.

History

The journal was established in January 1956 as The Canadian Psychiatric Association Journal/La revue de l'association canadienne de psychiatrie.[1] The journal started as a quarterly publication, under its founding editor-in-chief, F. Rhodes Chalke.[2] He was succeeded in 1972 by Frederick Lowy, who remained until 1976.[3] Publication changed from bimonthly in 1974 to eight issues a year in 1975. Edward Kingstone took over as editor in 1977.[4] The journal obtained its current name in 1979.[5] He was succeeded in 1995 by Quentin Rae-Grant, who remained until 2004.[6] In 2004, the journal started publishing monthly.[7] Joel Paris became editor-in-chief in October 2004, continuing this role for 10 years.[8] The current editor is Scott Patten, who has been in this role since 2014 [9] The journal published 14 issues per year in 2005 and 2006, but returned to a monthly frequency in 2007.[10] An electronic version of the journal was launched in January 2012. Because of the advertising, web access was restricted to members only in 2012 to avoid direct-to-consumer advertising. Articles had been freely accessible since 2002. In 2013, paid subscribers were also allowed access.[11] As the Journal is now published by SAGE, access is governed by that company's policies. All members of the Canadian Psychiatric Association receive a subscription as a membership benefit.

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed in Index Medicus/MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Science Citation Index, EBSCO, and ProQuest. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 4.356, ranking it 33rd out of 144 SSCI journals in the category "Psychiatry".[12] This places it in the first quartile of Psychiatry journals. In the SCIE index, it is ranked 51 out of 156.

Online archives

The complete archive of the journal from 1956 to the present is available online. Full-text articles had been freely accessible since 2002. However, in January 2012, online access was restricted for six months, except for members of the Canadian Psychiatric Association who get immediate online access. In 2013, subscribers were allowed immediate online access.
