Given, however, that we receive many submissions that use these methods in a superficial and sometimes questionable way, &lt;i&gt;the International Journal of Methods in Psychiatric Research (IJMPR)&lt;/i&gt; sees a need for didactic methods papers, prepared by distinguished expert panels, that illustrate these developments, critically review the theoretical background and empirical practice and provide guidance for their use in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In response to this need IJMPR has decided to launch a new type of article called “&lt;i&gt;IJMPR Didactic Papers&lt;/i&gt;.” We have identified various critical topics and have commissioned the preparation of such didactic articles that will be published after the mandatory peer review together with regular accepted paper submissions in selected issues of IJMPR.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this issue, we present the first of this new series of didactic papers on the topic of “&lt;i&gt;Network Analysis: An Overview for Mental Health Research&lt;/i&gt;” (&lt;i&gt;Briganti et al.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Written by a large panel of outstanding international experts, guided by Giovanni Briganti, this article illustrates contemporary practices in applying network analytical tools, bridging the gap between network concepts and their empirical applications.
