The journal deals with a broad range of clinical issues, particularly at an interdisciplinary level, related to assessment and treatment, with particular reference to psychotherapy and psychopharmacology. The journal has kept a top impact factor in 2015. Its new impact factor of 7.63 places the journal as fourth in the Science Citation Index Psychology ranking and seventh in the Psychiatry ranking. These rankings, however, do not differentiate whether a journal is exclusively concerned with review articles (that are more likely to be cited) or also publishes original investigations. In the Science Citation Index Psychology ranking, the 3 journals preceding Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics are exclusively dedicated to review articles. This indicates that Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics is the top journal for original investigations in psychology. Such an achievement is the result of several converging efforts. We should acknowledge here the perfect synchrony between Karger’s editorial office and the associate editors, the work of the editorial board and statistical consultants, the help of many external reviewers (listed below) who dedicated their time and efforts to assess and improve the quality of submitted manuscripts, the skills of Emanuela Offidani and Andrea Sabbatini who prepared the press releases of the published articles, and the support of our authors and readers. The following experts have supplemented the editorial board by reviewing the manuscripts submitted to Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics during 2016 and are gratefully acknowledged. Both external referees and editorial board members have disclosed potential conflicts of interests. The editor in chief and the associate editors have no conflict of interests to declare for 2016. U.
