Aims & Scope

Journal of Drug Policy Analysis (JDPA) publishes peer-reviewed articles related to every aspect of the problems posed by abusable psychoactives, licit and illicit, anywhere in the world.

We publish analytic contributions to the public and scholarly conversation about how to deal with the issues surrounding drug policy.

Contributions may be data-driven or conceptual, and may incorporate any of the methods of the social and biological sciences, of the professions of medicine, public health, law, law enforcement, and public management, or of the humanities.

Contributions will be evaluated purely on their analytic merit, and not on their agreement with the view of the editorial board.

It is not necessary that a submission reach a firm policy conclusion; instead, the author may focus on illuminating the stakes in a given policy choice, and the terms of the tradeoffs among the values and interests in play.
