The use of videoconferencing technology to conduct forensic psychiatric and forensic psychological evaluations remotely has grown considerably in the last decade. This commentary addresses a number of points made by Recupero regarding the use of remote technology to conduct forensic psychiatric evaluations. These points include the research supporting telepsychiatry and its generalizability to forensic assessment, the error rate associated with remote forensic assessment, and its general acceptance in the field. The commentary also considers the inclusion of psychological testing and specialized forensic measures in forensic assessment and describes criteria for considering tests and measures that can reasonably be included in a remotely conducted forensic assessment.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 December 2022.
All research outputs
#24,788,767
of 34,412,533 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry & the Law
#321
of 488 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#335,569
of 542,491 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry & the Law
#3
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,412,533 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 488 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.9. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 542,491 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
