Addiction Research & Theory

期刊简介：Since being founded in 1993, Addiction Research and Theory has been the leading outlet for research and theoretical contributions that view addictive behaviour as arising from psychological processes within the individual and the social context in which the behaviour takes place as much as from the biological effects of the psychoactive substance or activity involved. This cross-disciplinary journal examines addictive behaviours from a variety of perspectives and methods of inquiry. Disciplines represented in the journal include Anthropology, Economics, Epidemiology, Medicine, Sociology, Psychology and History, but high quality contributions from other relevant areas will also be considered. The journal publishes articles on all aspects of addiction, placing particular value on contributions that explore creatively new avenues of inquiry. Submissions to Addiction Research and Theory are peer reviewed and published if they are both good of their kind and are within the journal’s focus. Articles include theoretical, philosophical and political essays, research papers, state-of-the-science reviews, and descriptions of how to apply research on addictive behaviours to evidence-based clinical practice. "Addiction Research and Theory fills an important gap. Unlike most journals in the field, it is willing to depart from the narrow positivist approach to knowledge that constrains much of the literature. Hence its content is particularly diverse, including a good balance of qualitative and quantitative work, of socially oriented as well as biopsychological research, and policy relevant contributions - often controversial - as well as basic research." Prof Jim Orford "The field of addiction studies is characterised by a dearth of basic theorizing and original ideas. This is why Addiction Research and Theory is such an important journal in the field – simply because it has the potential to help remedy the sterility of much of the current scientific literature on addiction. I am sometimes asked by colleagues about articles they have written describing empirical research or theoretical speculations that represents work of good quality but unlikely to be accepted by one of the more well-established journals simply because of its originality. I invariably reply: “Try Addiction Research and Theory.”" Nick Heather Emeritus Professor of Alcohol & Other Drug Studies, Division of Psychology, Northumbria University

【译文】自 1993 年成立以来，成瘾研究和理论一直是研究和理论贡献的主要渠道，该机构将成瘾行为视为源自个人内部的心理过程和行为发生的社会背景，以及所涉及的精神活性物质或活动的生物效应。这本跨学科期刊从多种角度和调查方法研究成瘾行为。该期刊涉及的学科包括人类学、经济学、流行病学、医学、社会学、心理学和历史学，但其他相关领域的高质量贡献也将被考虑。该杂志发表有关成瘾各个方面的文章，特别重视探索创造性的新探究途径的贡献。如果成瘾研究和理论的提交内容既优秀又属于期刊的重点，那么它们就会经过同行评审并发表。文章包括理论、哲学和政治文章、研究论文、最新科学评论以及如何将成瘾行为研究应用于循证临床实践的描述。 “成瘾研究和理论填补了一个重要的空白。与该领域的大多数期刊不同，它愿意摆脱限制许多文献的狭隘实证主义知识方法。因此，它的内容特别多样化，包括定性和定量工作、社会导向和生物心理学研究、政策相关贡献（经常有争议）以及基础研究的良好平衡。”吉姆·奥福德教授“成瘾研究领域的特点是缺乏基本理论和原创思想。这就是为什么《成瘾研究与理论》是该领域如此重要的期刊的原因 - 仅仅是因为它有潜力帮助纠正当前许多有关成瘾的科学文献的贫乏性。有时我的同事会问我他们写的文章，这些文章描述了实证研究或理论推测，这些文章代表了高质量的工作，但不太可能仅仅因为其原创性而被一家较知名的期刊所接受。我总是回答：“尝试成瘾研究和理论。”诺森比亚大学心理学系酒精和其他药物研究的尼克·希瑟名誉教授
