Inaugural Review Issue

Abstract

Courtney and colleagues¹ point out, in this issue of the Journal, that as the depth and complexity of the literature on children's mental health has grown, the challenges in synthesizing this literature and extracting its implications for science, practice, and policy have become more complicated. The vastness of our literature is breathtaking. Authors of the six review articles included in this issue of the Journal assessed a total of over 2,700 articles to construct their reviews. Although the ability to search our literature remains a critical core competency, our need for review articles has never been greater.
