Research articles are rapidly increasing in number of publications in the regular journals on geriatric psychiatrt- and it´s allied fields since 1989. However, they were mainly on dementia, depression, epidemiolog~~ and neurocognitive functions. ~~´idening of research areas, refinement of study methodolog}~ and multidisciplinan~ approach based on clinical data are needed. And of importance is submission to the popular foreign scientific journals listed in medical indexes, including the Current Contents, Excerpta Modica, Index Medicus, Medline, Psychological Abstracts, Science Citation Index, and Social Science Citation Index. In the case of home journals, a meticulous peer review system of manuscripts could improve the qualitt~ of research activities and of publications. All these activities would help us open a new horizon in the research into mental health problems in Korea.
