the-lancet-psychiatry

separate

Use when targeting The Lancet Psychiatry or deciding whether a psychiatry or mental-health study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the clinical-trial, population, and policy evidence bar, reporting-guideline and registration requirements, Lancet specialty house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.
