Abstract:
This editorial charts the history of publications by the Australian and New Zealand Association of Psychiatry, Psychology and Law (ANZAPPL) from 1985 to 2020. It identifies values that have underpinned Psychiatry, Psychology and Law, and it refers to some of the influential articles that have been published since the commencement of the journal in 1994. It highlights the journal's relationship with the Cunningham Dax Collection, which has supplied images for the covers of the journal since 2008, and makes reference to the role of metrics and impact factors as one of the measures of a journal's influence. It explores challenges for Psychiatry, Psychology and Law as it consolidates its place as one of the world's leading cross-disciplinary mental health law journals and reflects on core values of the journal and aspirations for its evolution as a forum for scholarly exchange of information and perspectives.
