Publishing in addiction science: a guide for the perplexed.

Publishing Addiction Science is a comprehensive guide for addiction scientists - especially novice researchers - facing the complex process of publishing in scholarly journals. Written by an international group of addiction science journal editors and their colleagues, Publishing Addiction Science tackles such issues as choosing a journal, publishing qualitative research, responding to reviewers' reports, becoming a reviewer yourself, and appropriate responses to ethical issues common to addiction science publishing. Addiction science publishing has grown tremendously in the past thirty years. There are now close to ninety journals in seventeen languages that specialise in addiction science as part of their broader mission. Despite these expanding opportunities, getting research published not only begins with choosing a journal: the conscientious researcher also faces a host of potential language, authorship, citation and ethical issues.
