JAMA Psychiatry [1] (until 2013: Archives of General Psychiatry) is a monthly, peer-reviewed medical journal published by the American Medical Association. It publishes original articles of general interest to clinicians, scholars, and research scientists in psychiatry, mental health, behavioral sciences, and related fields. The journal seeks to inform and to educate its readers as well as to stimulate debate and further exploration into the nature, causes, treatment, and public health importance of mental illness. All clinical trials published in the journal are strictly classified according to ICMJE criteria, regardless of classification by a funding agency, and have to abide by the recommendations laid out by the ICMJE. JAMA Psychiatry is a member of the JAMA Network family of journals, which includes twelve journals, known collectively as The JAMA Network. [2]
