Featured Open Research in Child & Adolescent Mental Health

NISC has offered authors an Open Access publishing option on all its journals since 2007 and there has been a slow uptick in the demand for Open Access publishing every year. Much of the interest in our Open Access publishing options in the last year has come in journals that focus on behavioural research. The Journal of Child & Adolescent Mental Health has published three Open Access articles I the last twelve months. The Journal of Child & Adolescent Mental Health is included in Medline, Scopus and the Web of Science and now features an expanded aims and scope. The following papers were published Open Access:

• Behaviour planning and problem solving deficiencies in children with symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder from the Balobedu culture, Limpopo province, South Africa
• “Every time that month comes, I remember”: using cognitive interviews to adapt grief measures for use with bereaved adolescents in South Africa
• Parental HIV/AIDS and psychological health of younger children in South Africa
