Since 1998, the Royal College of Psychiatrists, the British Psychological Society and BMJ have co-owned the journal, Evidence-Based Mental Health. As a Plan S transformative journal, we have been monitoring closely the levels of open access in the journal. The proportion of open access content recently reached 70% and so the journal will transition to a fully open access model from 2023.
As part of this transition process, BMJ has purchased the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ and the British Psychological Society’s shares in the journal and the journal will be renamed BMJ Mental Health from 2023.
Continuing the collaborative relationship, members of both the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the British Psychological Society will benefit from a 15% discount on the journal’s publication fee. A discount code is available in your members' area.
