Publishing Addiction Science: A Guide for the Perplexed Second Edition Edited by Thomas F. Babor, Kerstin Stenius, Susan Savva, and Jean O’Reilly The International Society of Addiction Journal Scientists is pleased to announce the publication of the second edition of Publishing 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. International in its scope, and now in a thoroughly revised, expanded, and updated second edition, the book gives special attention to the challenges for researchers from developing and non-English-speaking countries. Publishing Addiction Science is co-sponsored by the International Society of Addiction Journal Editors and the Society for the Study of Addiction. The book is available FREE online: http://www.parint.org/isajewebsite/isajebook2.htm Print copies are also available at £18.00, €27, or $36US per copy from Multi-Science Publishing Company Ltd, UK Telephone: +44(0)1277 224632 Fax: +44(0)1277 223453 http://www.multi-science.co.uk Email enquiries: info@multi-science.co.uk There is also a FREE self-guided online tutorial based on Publishing Addiction Science: |
