Name: Addiction Research & Theory
Country: United Kingdom (UK)
Year established: 1993
Sponsorship: N/A
Publisher: Informa Health care
Language: English
Editors: John B. Davies & Fred Rotgers
Assistant/Regional Editors:
Mission statement: Addiction Research and Theory is a refereed, cross-disciplinary journal examining the effects of context on the use and misuse of substances, and on the nature of intoxications of all kinds. It aims to provide an outlet for the growing body of theory and related research which sees 'addicted' behaviour of all types as arising from the social context within which it takes place, rather than as an inevitable manifestation of biological mechanisms or pharmacology. It publishes research that is primarily psychological and social in origin, though these terms are used in a very broad sense. Contributions are welcomed from the disciplines of anthropology, economics, sociology, social psychology, social and economic history, and any other area illustrating the relationship between context and the variable nature of those behaviours described as 'addicted'. The range of covered areas will include the substance-based addictions as well as problems not involving psychoactive agents, such as gambling, sexual behaviour, and eating disorders.
Submission Notes: See website for detailed instructions. Three double-spaced copies of each manuscript should be submitted to the appropriate editor: (North and South America and the Far East) Ernest Drucker, Montefiore Medical Centre, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York 10467-2490, U.S.A.; (United Kingdom, Europe, Scandinavia, Australia and New Zealand) John B.

Publisher: Pergamon (Subsidiary of Elsevier Science Ltd.)
Language: English
Editors: Peter M. Miller
Assistant/Regional Editors:
Mission statement: Addictive Behaviors is an international scientific journal publishing research on substance abuse. The journal specifically focuses on studies related to the abuse of alcohol, drugs, and nicotine. Articles represent interdisciplinary endeavors with research in such fields as psychology, psychiatry, epidemiology, medicine, pharmacology, and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. Uncontrolled clinical demonstrations and case studies are not accepted for publication. Priority is given to research that evaluates behavioural and/or pharmacological treatment or prevention interventions. In addition, studies of the functional relationships between substance use and any one of a combination of social, emotional, cognitive, environmental, and attitudinal factors are encouraged. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of the etiology, prevention, and/or treatment of substance abuse are given priority. Research on the epidemiology of substance use is also published as well as a limited number of reviews.
Submission Notes: Instructions to authors are included in each issue of the journal. Manuscripts must adhere to the instructions on references, preparation of tables and figures, abstracts, and manuscripts format as described in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.).

Mission statement: Alcohol is an international, peer-reviewed journal that is devoted to publishing multi-disciplinary biomedical research on all aspects of the actions or effects of alcohol on the nervous system or on other organ systems. Emphasis is given to studies into the causes and consequences of alcohol abuse and alcoholism, and biomedical aspects of diagnosis, etiology, treatment or prevention of alcohol-related health effects.

In addition, the journal reports studies on the effects alcohol on brain mechanisms of neuroplasticity over the life span, biological factors associated with adolescent alcohol abuse, pharmacotherapeutic strategies in the treatment of alcoholism, biological and biochemical markers of alcohol abuse and alcoholism, pathological effects of uncontrolled drinking, biomedical and molecular factors in the effects on liver, immune system, and other organ systems, and biomedical aspects of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder including mechanisms of damage, diagnosis and early detection, treatment, and prevention. Articles are published from all levels of biomedical inquiry, including the following: molecular and cellular studies of alcohol's actions in vitro and in vivo; animal model studies of genetic, pharmacological, behavioral, developmental or pathophysiological aspects of alcohol; human studies of genetic, behavioral, cognitive, neuroimaging, or pathological aspects of alcohol drinking; clinical studies of diagnosis (including dual diagnosis), treatment, prevention, and epidemiology
