JCPP Advances

JCPP Advances launched in Spring 2021. It is a new, high quality, high impact open access journal in the field of child psychology and psychiatry and related disciplines. It builds on the values and prestige of its sister publication, the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, to advance the field by opening new opportunities for diverse researchers and for the dissemination of innovative science. 

It has a commitment to open science, rapid publication and creating a high-quality publishing experience for authors. It aims to promote ground-breaking research, new theoretical perspectives and methodological innovation. JCPP Advances operates a fast manuscript transfer system from its sister publication. We make it easier for authors to submit their work through format free submission. For many we provide easy access to institutional open access funds.

JCPP Advances adopts the continuous publication format and publishes six issues per annual volume.

“Great to see the launch of our sister journal JCPP Advances – what a welcome addition to the JCPP family. It’s a fully Open Access journal that complements JCPP, and Henrik and I will work closely together to give authors the greatest possible choice of publication models while continuing to ensure, as always, the highest scientific standards and production values.”
Edmund Sonuga-Barke, JCPP Editor-in-Chief

The Bridge

The Bridge presents the most clinically-relevant research from our journals, as well as interesting and important studies from the wider literature.

It includes exclusive interviews with leaders in CAMHS, drawn from the diverse range of disciplines that make up our membership. It brings best practice and the latest research to clinicians and practitioners working at the frontline of CAMHS.

Articles are often accompanied by a brief explanation of key concepts or relevant clinical guidelines, helping members to learn as they read and augmenting their existing CPD activities.

CAMHS around the Campfire

‘CAMHS around the Campfire’ is our FREE, live, virtual journal club, run in conjunction with André Tomlin the @Mental_Elf.

Each 1-hour meeting will feature a new piece of research from one of our journals, which we’ll discuss in an informal journal club session. The focus will be on critical appraisal of the research and implications for practice. Primarily targeted at CAMHS practitioners, and researchers, ‘CAMHS around the Campfire’ will be publicly accessible, free to attend, and relevant to a wider audience.

Each meeting will have a panel, comprising an author from the paper, expert on the subject, and a young person, discussing the research and its implications. This discussion will be facilitated by Andre Tomlin who will also be posing the questions you post live online.

ACAMH Members who attend the event will be eligible for a CPD certificate.
