The aim of Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica is to publish articles in English of high scientific quality representing clinical and experimental work in psychiatry. The scope is to act as an international forum for the dissemination of information advancing the science and practice of psychiatry. Original articles are welcomed, especially those that bring new knowledge or extend the present understanding of mental disorders. Parallel to original articles priority is given to review articles. Articles requiring rapid publication because of their significance and timeliness may be included as Short communications not exceeding two printed pages. Debate within psychiatry is encouraged in the form of Letters to the editor. All manuscripts published have been assessed by two experienced referees.
