Translational Psychiatry
Academic journal
Translational Psychiatry is a peer-reviewed medical journal published by Nature Publishing Group. It is a sister journal to the better-known Molecular Psychiatry.[1] While both journals cover the larger field of biological psychiatry, Translational Psychiatry is more focused on translational aspects of research. It was launched on April 5, 2011, when the editor-in-chief of both journals, Julio Licinio, announced it during the First National Symposium on Translational Psychiatry at The Australian National University. One of the first articles was a guest editorial by Thomas Insel, who stated that "Translational Psychiatry has an opportunity to make a difference by publishing the best science at a time when we can see this historic bridge being built that will link science, practice and policy. I, for one, will watch (and read) with enthusiasm."[2][3] Translational Psychiatry has been criticized for requiring author fees to submit critiques of articles published in the journal since this could insulate articles from critics.[4]
