There is, in the content of the Journal, an embarrassment of riches, and picking a "best" seems to demand a certain qualification: is the "best" the most interesting, most surprising, most educational, most important, most provocative, most enjoyable? How to choose? We are hardly unbiased and can admit to a special affection for the ones that we and the authors worked hardest on, hammering version after version into shape. Acknowledging these biases, here are the 2022 articles that we think deserve your attention or at least a second read.

In 2020, we wrote to you of our dedication and vision for this Journal "to be antiracist at every level," outlining the following 6 initiatives "to reshape the Journal to pursue this vision:" (1) Issuing a Call for Papers on racism and its impacts on child development and children's mental health; (2) updating our Guide for Authors to emphasize that we will evaluate articles submitted to the Journal on whether their study designs are inclusive and their discussions consider and address human diversity and structural determinants of health in the context of their research questions and hypotheses; (3) assembling a special collection of Journal articles on bias, bigotry, discrimination, racism, and mental health inequities; (4) accelerating our efforts to make our Editorial Board inclusive and representative of our community of scientists and practitioners as well as the communities we serve; (5) engaging in continuing education and dialogue as an Editorial Board that will include antiracism training and praxis; and (6) critically examining "our editorial and peer review process to ensure it is antiracist."¹ In this Editors' Note, we write to update you on our progress, including a new initiative we started in the past year: (7) a new option for authors to add a statement to their manuscripts regarding the inclusion and diversity initiatives and practices they employed in pursuing their work. With the launch this year of JAACAP Open, the Academy's new open access publication and the newest member of the JAACAP family of journals, we have expanded opportunities to pursue these efforts, and look forward to sharing more about JAACAP Open in future updates.

Last year, we wrote to you of our dedication and vision for this journal "to be antiracist at every level," outlining the following 6 initiatives "to reshape the Journal to pursue this vision:" (1) Issuing a Call for Papers "on racism and its impacts on child development and children's mental health;" (2) updating our Guide for Authors "to emphasize that we will evaluate articles submitted to the Journal on whether their study designs and discussions consider and address human diversity in the context of their research questions and hypotheses; (3) assembling a special collection of "Journal articles on bias, bigotry, racism, and mental health disparities;" (4) accelerating "our efforts to make our editorial board inclusive and representative of our community of scientists and practitioners as well as the communities we all serve;" (5) engaging in "continuing education and dialogue as an Editorial Board that will include antiracism training;" and (6) critically examining "our editorial and peer review process to ensure it is antiracist.¹ In this Editors' Note, we write to update you on our progress.

Objectives: Participants in this Workshop will learn methods by which to overcome common pitfalls and obstacles to scholarly writing and publication and will establish skills essential to getting papers published. Relatively few students, trainees, and clinicians publish scientific or other educational manuscripts because of limitations of time, experience, and access to mentorship. However, facilitating publishing opportunities for these groups is important because the process of authoring and publishing scientific manuscripts can increase competency in research literacy, engagement in evidence-based practices, and other skills needed to increase mastery in child and adolescent psychiatry.
Method(s): We provide attendees a "backstage pass" experience, combining practical instruction with individualized, hands-on training and consultation to build an early foundation for getting published. Topics covered include how to choose a publishable topic of interest and how to utilize and maintain mentorship relationships. Attendees also will receive personalized consultation and mentorship around their individual goals and their works in progress from peers and our presenters, who have significant and diverse experiences with authorship and publication-particularly with JAACAP and JAACAP Connect.
Result(s): Attendees will learn practical steps toward getting published in scholarly journals and strategies to overcome current limitations and obstacles. Participants also will have the opportunity to get started with mentored authorship and publishing experiences available through JAACAP Connect.
Conclusion(s): This Workshop provides medical students, residents, fellows, early-career psychiatrists, and other clinicians with limited scholarly experience both practical knowledge and foundational skills essential to writing and getting published. AC, ADV, R
