About this Gateway
Aims and Scope
Sponsored by the Society for Mental Health in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (SoMHiL), based in India, the gateway publishes research from behavioral science scholars in low- and middle-income countries, striving to amplify their voices and bring their work to a global readership. Articles are welcome from authors around the world who are investigating mental health and illness in low- and middle-income regions. The gateway also includes research on the influence of cultural context on the symptoms, diagnosis and management of mental illness. Subjects might include:
The Gateway facilitates and accelerates research in these areas by providing rapid, open access publication with links to all underlying data. As an open research venue, the Gateway requires authors to make any data underpinning their findings available to readers and reviewers via a suitable data repository. For details, please see our Data Guidelines.
The range of article types offered by F1000Research—Research Articles, Reviews, Case Studies, Data Notes, Method Articles, Opinion Articles, Software Tools, Policy Briefs, and more—enables the dissemination of all research outputs as openly and quickly as possible. Each article will undergo fully transparent post-publication peer review following the F1000Research publication model.
Submission
Authors from around the world are eligible to submit, provided their submissions either originate from low- or middle-income countries or consider mental health issues relevant to these regions. To submit to the Gateway simply click the “Submit” button above or select the Gateway from drop-down list in the article submission form.
F1000 and SoMHiL recognize that open access article publication charges (APCs) can pose a particular challenge for researchers from LAMIC. You can read more about F1000’s approach to APCs, including waivers and discounts, here. In addition, the SoMHiL Gateway also subsidizes corresponding authors from India, who are eligible for a reduced APC of $650.
