Links to Journal Online-versions
There are online-versions of three Royal College of
Psychiatrists' journals (The British Journal of
Psychiatry, The Psychiatrist and
Advances in Psychiatric Treatment). The online-versions of
the journals contain the same text content but have the additional
benefit of a considerable number of features to improve the ease
and speed with which content can be accessed and searched (see
below).
Evidence-Based Mental Health journal is hosted on the
same platform (by HighWire) as the College journals so whilst its
online-version may look slightly different, many of the search
functions and other online features are the same.
