    Objective: As journals play a crucial role in the dissemination of knowledge, reviewing the psychiatry journals would illustrate the current status of mental health research. Aims: We aimed to identify and assess the academic journals within South Asia that focus on psychiatry. Methods: We searched on Google to identify the currently functioning psychiatry journals from South Asian countries. We used “psychiatry journals in South Asia” and “mental health journals in South Asia” as search terms. We also searched by individual country names (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka). Results: A total of 20 psychiatry journals were identified and reviewed from five countries; one each from Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, while 16 journals were from India. Only three journals (15%) are indexed in PubMed, four journals (20%) in Scopus, and one in Web of Science inclusively. Major indexation was only found in the journals from India. The Indian Journal of Psychiatry appears to be the oldest and currently leading mental health journal in the region. Conclusion: The review revealed that South Asia has a noticeable deficit in a high-quality academic research publishing system in psychiatry despite the region holding about a quarter of the global population.
