The journal Research Directions: Depression aims to bring new insights to international attention, promote new methods and tools that can underpin rapid advances and draw attention to data that challenge existing biomedical, psychological and social orthodoxies. We encourage the active and timely sharing of novel research findings from many disciplines. We wish to resolve critical uncertainties in this most compelling and socially relevant field. The focus is on what is new or on existing information that is required to solve pressing problems and answer the central questions. The journal invites authors to answer the questions that matter most to those who are most affected. Authors can contribute with Results, Analysis, Impact papers, datasets, presentations, grant proposals, methods papers and much more to this journal and its companion community site.
