Aims & Scope

Aims and Scope

Consultation-liaison psychiatry is defined as the psychiatric discipline that explores the connections between general clinical medicine and various specialties with mental and psychosocial conditions. It deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of psychiatric disorders and psychosocial problems that accompany physical illnesses. In this context, JCLP is a multidisciplinary research journal covering all aspects of the interface between psychiatry and other medical fields. Scientific quality and originality are key criteria for the acceptance of manuscripts. In addition to peer-reviewed original articles, the journal publishes letters to the editor, reviews, and case reports relevant to its aims. Submissions must not have been previously published in print or electronic format. If the manuscript is derived from a conference presentation, detailed information about the presentation must be provided. The submitting author is responsible for the accuracy of author details and their order. Manuscripts considered for publication may be returned to authors for revisions following peer review, and revisions are expected to comply with reviewer suggestions.

Peer Review

All submissions will first be evaluated by the editors to determine their suitability for the journal. If deemed appropriate, the manuscript will be sent for peer review to be assessed by independent experts. The final decision on acceptance rests with the editors.
