Open Access and Copyright Policies

The Mental Health Clinician (MHC) has an open access policy that provides unrestricted access to all of its articles via this website. The open access license benefits contributors by providing a broader audience, and it benefits readers by making citations easier since others can also view the original article. By searching for PubMed Central for open access content, you can see that over 1,400,000 open access articles have already been archived in PMC.
