Addictive Behaviors

期刊简介：Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, 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. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in 'non-traditional', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.

【译文】自1975年以来，Addictive Behaviors是一本国际同行评审期刊，发表关于成瘾行为和障碍的高质量人类研究。该期刊接受关于物质成瘾（如酒精、药物和尼古丁的滥用）和行为成瘾（如赌博和技术成瘾）的全文论文和短篇通讯的投稿。我们主要发表行为和心理社会研究，但我们的文章涵盖了心理学、社会学、精神病学、流行病学、社会政策、医学、药理学和神经科学等领域。虽然理论方向多样，但该期刊的重点主要是实证的。也就是说，良好的实验设计加上有效、可靠的评估和评价程序是接受文章的必要条件。然而，创新和实证导向的案例研究，如果可能鼓励新的研究方向，也是接受的。那些明显有助于当前对病因、预防、社会政策或治疗的认识的研究被给予优先权。我们鼓励对时事问题的学术评论、系统综述和迷你综述。我们特别欢迎包含视频或音频组件的多媒体论文，以更好地展示方法或发现。研究也可以提交给Addictive Behaviors的配套期刊，即开放获取期刊Addictive Behaviors Reports，该期刊特别关注'非传统'、创新和实证导向的研究，如负面/无数据论文、复制研究、新型治疗方法案例报告和跨文化研究。
