In early 2023, we launched the Journal of Clinical and Basic Psychosomatics (JCBP)
with significant support from our colleagues in psychosomatic medicine. The journal
has successfully published two issues, featuring a total of 16 articles, comprising eight
original research articles, three reviews, two brief reports, one case report, one letter,
and one editorial. The collaborative efforts of over 300 authors and the contributions
of 100 reviewers have played crucial roles in the success of the journal. In addition, the
publishing house has dedicated great effort to promotion. The network metrics indicate
rapid growth, with over 10,000 views achieved. This has facilitated the dissemination
of cutting-edge findings and critical knowledge in the field of psychosomatic research
throughout the scientific community.
The journal benefits from a diverse and highly professional editorial board comprising
