Is World psychiatry reliable?
According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2021 impact factor of 79.683. It is ranked no. 1 out of 155 journals in the category Psychiatry and no. 1 out of 3,414 journals in the Social Sciences Citation Index category. The top 5% of journals have impact factors approximately equal to or greater than 6 (610 journals or 4.9% of the journals tracked by JCR). World Psychiatry is a journal covering the technologies/fields/categories related to Psychiatry and Mental Health (Q1). It is published by Wiley-Blackwell. The overall rank of World Psychiatry is 39. According to SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), this journal is ranked 12.991. An impact factor of 10 can be considered excellent – although unreachable in many categories – as in 2020 only 3.65% of the journals had an impact factor of 10 or higher. An impact factor of 10 isn’t even the highest score though. So, a journal with an IF of 2-2.5 would be considered having a higher impact than these journals. A journal with an IF of 5 or above would be considered high-impact, but note that these would be fewer in number. Most journals actually fall in the combined category of an IF of 1-2.
How competitive is psychiatry UK?
If there are 450 posts for Psychiatry CT1, and 900 applicants, then the competition ratio is 2. I would consider a competition ratio of less than 2 as having low to moderate competition, between 2-4 as highly competitive, and a competition ratio of more than 4 as extremely competitive. In the past, attracting psychiatry applicants was somewhat challenging, but that’s been changing. In fact, the number of psychiatry residents has risen 21% in recent years, and in 2022 there were nearly twice as many applicants as slots for them. Gih points to a generational shift.

Although U.S. medical school seniors are readily able to match into psychiatry, the top tier residency programs are quite competitive. In the 2018 NRMP Match, 15% of U.S. senior applicants failed to match.
