Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs

The Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs (JSAD) is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes articles on all aspects of the use and misuse of alcohol and other drugs; tobacco and e-cigarette use; the misuse of prescription medication; and behavioral addictions, including gambling and gaming. The journal also publishes research on the therapeutic uses of psychoactive substances (e.g., psilocybin, ketamine). The range of topics includes, but is not limited to, the biological, medical, epidemiological, psychiatric, social, psychological, legal, public health, socioeconomic, genetic, and neurobiological aspects of substance use and behavioral addictions. The journal was established in 1940 as the Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol and changed its name in 1975 to Journal of Studies on Alcohol before obtaining its current name in 2007. The journal appears bimonthly and publishes supplements at irregular intervals. The Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs is a not-for-profit journal based in the Center of Alcohol and Substance Use Studies at Rutgers University.
