As the year draws to a close, the Consortium Psychiatricum Editorial Board has once again met internationally to take stock and strategise the Journal's progress and plans. Editorial board members from India, Japan, Mexico, Serbia and UK participated in the meeting remotely.

Consortium Psychiatricum Editor-in-Chief Prof. Georgy Kostyuk and Deputy Editor-in-Chief Prof. Olga Karpenko presented the most significant achievements of the Journal, including successful scientific evaluation by PubMed Central, indexing all issues of the journal in Scopus and growth of the CiteScore Tracker index.

In November 2023 the CiteScore was 1.2 (128 citations and 103 indexed articles), and in December it had already increased to 1.3 (134 citations and 105 indexed articles).

According to Google Analytics data, Consortium Psychiatricum is read in most countries of the world, with a significant proportion of the website visitors coming from Russia, USA, India, Germany, UK, and Australia. In just 4 years, the Journal materials have been viewed more than 440 thousand times and downloaded more than 100 thousand times.

The members of the editorial board also discussed future plans.

Moreover, it is planned to optimize editorial processes and improve the system of our articles promotion in the scientific professional community.
