Researchers from low and middle income countries
are underrepresented among scientists who contribute papers
to or review articles for journals in the addiction field.
There is increasing recognition that scholars in these countries
can contribute unique perspectives and expertise to the mission
of these specialized journals.
The International Society of Addiction Journal Editors (ISAJE)
is developing a database of researchers in low and middle
income countries whom editors can invite to review papers
and provide other scholarly services.
Interested researchers should send their CVs
including a comprehensive list of their publications. The
following information should appear on the first page of the
CV: full name, current position, institutional address, phone
and fax numbers, e-mail address, areas of research competence
(e.g. epidemiology, pharmacology), editorial board membership(s)
and journals for which you have reviewed previously.
This information will be considered for inclusion
in a database that will be made available only to editors
of ISAJE member journals. All submissions will be assessed
by ISAJE and the society reserves the right to reject the
application of anyone deemed unqualified for inclusion in
the database. Journal editors will then be responsible for
the decision to contact any researcher for an assignment.
Please send your application to
