Addictive Behaviors Reports

Aims & Scope

Addictive Behaviors Reports is an open-access and peer reviewed online-only journal offering an interdisciplinary forum for the publication of research in addictive behaviors.

The journal accepts submissions that are scientifically sound on all forms of addictive behavior (alcohol, drugs, gambling, Internet, nicotine and technology) with a primary focus on behavioral and psychosocial research.

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.

We are particularly interested 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.

Studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry as well as scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are also very much encouraged.

We also welcome multimedia submissions that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
