Научные журналы играют важную роль в проведении и распространении результатов исследований. Однако в настоящее время в обще доступных журналах, посвященных психи...ческому здоровью и психиатрии, публикуется ничтожно малое количество материалов по исследованиям, проводимых в этих странах, или посложившейся в них ситуации. И в тоже время более 85% мирового населения проживают в 153 странах, отнесенных на основании критериев Всемирного банка к категории стран с низким и средним уровнем дохода. Еще большее беспокойство вызывает тот факт, что, как можно заметить, разрыв в числе публикаций между этими странами истранами с высоким уровнем дохода может еще больше увеличиться.
