Biological Psychiatry is pleased to announce that a new sibling journal, Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging (BP:CNNI) will introduce its first issue in January of 2016. The new journal will be led by Cameron S. Carter, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology and Director of the Center for Neuroscience at the University of California, Davis. BP:CNNI will provide an exciting new home for research in the areas of cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging. Research in these areas is exploding. We hope that the new journal will capture both the innovation and fundamental new insights into the relationships between brain and behavior emerging from the growth of this field. We hope that the new journal will represent the growing diversity of technologies (EEG, MRI, etc.) in this area. Further we expect that new strategies for image analysis, computational modeling, multi-modal imaging, and other emerging research strategies (pharmaco-fMRI, imaging genomics) will yield deeper insights into the relationships between brain and behavior. While Biological Psychiatry will continue to publish research in these areas, BP:CNNI will have greater flexibility to promote research in “pure” cognitive neuroscience, technical aspects of cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging, as well as clinical applications. The creation of BP:CNNI is, in part, an outgrowth of the success of Biological Psychiatry. As noted in our recent commentary (1), the substantial growth in submissions to Biological Psychiatry combined with limitations on the available page space have served to reduce the rate of acceptances to below 10% of submissions. This has, in turn, somewhat reduced the scope of the journal to papers that have the highest impact, i.e., broadest interest, for translational neuroscience and experimental therapeutics. As editors, we have been increasingly frustrated by the need to reject wonderful papers due to space limitations. In addition to Dr. Carter, BP:CNNI will be led by Deputy Editors including Deanna Barch, Ph.D. from Washington University in St. Louis (who will also become a Deputy Editor for Biological Psychiatry), Edward Bullmore, Ph.D., FMedSci, of the University of Cambridge, Anissa Abi-Dargham, M.D., from Columbia University, and Murray Stein, M.D., M.P.H. from the University of California, San Diego. Ms. Rhiannon Bugno will serve as Managing Editor of BP:CNNI, as she does for Biological Psychiatry. BP: CNNI will be receiving submissions in two ways. First, papers may be submitted directly to BP:CNNI via its EES website (currently being set-up). In addition, selected excellent papers that are not accepted for publication in Biological Psychiatry will be offered the opportunity to be considered for publication in BP:CNNI. The new journal will be accepting articles in the same formats as Biological Psychiatry, i.e., Archival Reports of original research, Reviews, and Correspondence. We are grateful to the leadership of the Society of Biological Psychiatry and to Elsevier for the opportunity to expand the breadth and impact of Biological Psychiatry through the creation of Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging. In creating

the new journal, we look forward to working with a new community of authors and readers, our partners in the effort to advance science and alleviate human suffering. We hope that the members of the Society of Biological Psychiatry and the scientific community at large will find this new journal as exciting as we do, and we welcome your feedback and suggestions as we move forward.
