Journal Indexing

JBTM is indexed in major scientific databases to ensure maximum visibility for your behavioral therapy and mental health research worldwide.

Global Discoverability for Mental Health Research

The Journal of Behavior Therapy and Mental Health is committed to ensuring that published research reaches the widest possible audience of mental health clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and healthcare professionals. We actively pursue indexing in major academic databases and search engines to maximize the visibility and impact of your behavioral therapy research.

Future Indexing Goals

JBTM is actively working to expand our indexing coverage to additional prestigious databases. We are preparing applications for PubMed and MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science as we build our publication record in behavioral therapy research. Meeting the requirements for these prestigious indexes is a priority as we establish our reputation in the mental health research publishing community. We anticipate submitting applications as eligibility thresholds are met.

Author Visibility

Authors can enhance their personal visibility by linking their ORCID profiles to their JBTM publications. We encourage authors to update their institutional repositories and professional networks with published behavioral therapy articles. Social media promotion of published mental health research is encouraged to maximize reach and engagement with the broader scientific community.
