It will also be changing its name to BMJ Mental Health and becoming a fully open-access journal.

As part of the transition process, the BMJ has purchased the other organisations' shares in the journal, but to continue the collaborative relationship, our members will receive a 15 per cent discount code on the journal's article processing charge to publish in the journal.

As a Plan S transformative journal, the BMJ has been monitoring the level of open access in the journal, which recent hit 70 per cent, prompting the transition to a fully open access model.

You can find out more information on the journal and upcoming changes on the BMJ website.
