Abstract: Summary Editorials and commentaries have a central role in shaping debate, priorities and values within psychiatry. Reflecting on the first decade of BJPsych Open , we consider how topical writing both responds to and helps define emerging scientific, social, ethical and political challenges. Looking ahead, we suggest that global instability, technological change and pressures on academic freedom will increasingly shape psychiatric discourse, underscoring the importance of editorial independence, methodological rigour and openness to the airing of contested ideas in guiding the journal’s next decade.
