Spain has been called "the cradle of psychiatry" because the world's first psychiatric hospital, the Hospital de los Inocentes, was founded in Valencia in 1404.By the beginning of the 20th century, psychiatry was highly developed in Spain, with its biological center in the brain studies of Nobel Laureate Santiago Ramon y Cajal. The rapid and promising pace of Spanish psychiatry was abruptly interrupted by the Spanish Civil War, despite some interesting developments forced by the war itself. Spanish psychiatric journals fulfill most of the requirements, although some of them could be improved, such as failures in the regularity of the publication, the English presentation of the abstracts and the paper typology specification, indication of the reception and acceptance date and lack of a clear description of the publishing process for the selection of the manuscripts and peer review.
