Description:

Dr T. S. Sathyanarayana Rao is the founder editor of the Journal of Psychosexual Health (SSH). It is an open access, quarterly, peer-reviewed journal, launched by SAGE Publishing, which is the official publication of the Karnataka Academy of Sexual Sciences. The growing importance of psychosexual health, the need for compiling high-quality systematic research in the field of sexuality and sexual well-being, and the lack of a journal dedicated to the same formed the basis of starting this journal. Psychosexual well-being forms an integral component of mental health; however, it is often under-researched and stigmatized. This was the impetus to initiate this journal and provide a common platform for all scientists, researchers, and other medical professionals to learn, contribute, and publish in this particular field for its advancement and to increase awareness in the public. The name of the journal itself emphasizes the etiology of psychosexual disorders. Biological, psychological, and social factors influence the psychosexual health of an individual. A number of specialties currently deal with part of the problem including Andrology, Urology, Internal Medicine, and Gynecology. However, they focus mostly on the organic aspect when our focus should be on the biopsychosocial model. SSH is open to all specialties directly or indirectly related with psychosexual health. It attempts to cover all the basic sciences related to psychosexual health; socio-cultural aspects, including anthropology, theology, sociology, and psychology; and related medical and surgical fields. The journal’s board has eminent scholars from the field around the world such as Nirmal Lamichanne, Chittaranjan Andrade, Sandeep Grover, Afzal Javed, Lasantha Malavige, G. Prasad Rao, Lesley Jo Weaver, and Narayana Reddy to name but a few. This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).Journal Highlights· Provides rigorous & double-blinded peer review· Open access journal with no Article Processing Charge (APC)· Articles made freely accessible online in perpetuity under a Creative Commons LicenseSubmit your manuscript today at https://peerreview.sagepub.com/ssh.
