Work together to Prevent Suicide
Suicide is a major health and social issue worldwide. Suicidality is defined as deliberately hurting oneself with an intent to die, which covers a broad range of terms, from suicidal ideations, suicide plans, suicide attempts and even completed suicides. A growing number of evidence indicates that suicide is a complex issue involving integrated process of bio-psycho-social and cultural interaction. Therefore, its prevention and intervention needs to consider multidisciplinary and multidimensional approaches across different timeline. Numerous studies have found that neurobiological factors in concert with psychosocial factors play a crucial role in development of suicidality.
In order to enhance widely and effectively the communication and collaboration between various professional fields of suicide researches, the Taiwanese Society of Suicidology (TSOS) launches the Journal of Suicidology (JOS) from March, 2022. The JOS is a peer-reviewed open-access journal, published quarterly, and welcomes the submission of articles from multidisciplinary fields of suicidology. The categories of articles published include: editorials, letters to the editor, review articles, original articles, special articles, and case reports.
The process of manuscript review and publication will be objective and efficient. When the accepted manuscript finally approved, it will have its own DOI number and immediately appear online without publication fee for open access. Other than scientific merits, efficacy and immediateness in management as well as prompt dissemination of the original work are our basic concerns. The JoS collaborates with Airiti Inc. and all the published articles are indexing in Google Scholar and linking to Naver, ExLibris (primo), EBSCO, Baidu, and more than 1043 international and Taiwan libraries. We really assure that the originality and findings of the scientist's works can be widely shared and cited worldwide.
