Addictive Behaviors (AB)

Addictive Behaviors is an influential international journal that has published high-quality research on the etiology, prevention, assessment, and treatment of addictive behaviours since 1975. It provides a broad interdisciplinary forum for scholarship addressing substance use and abuse (e.g., alcohol, illicit drugs, nicotine) as well as behavioural addictions, such as gambling and problematic technology use. Articles typically include empirical studies with rigorous methodology, systematic reviews, and theoretical advances that integrate psychological, social, epidemiological, and biological perspectives. The journal emphasizes evidence-based insights that help improve understanding of how addictive behaviours develop and persist, identify risk and protective factors, inform treatment interventions, and guide public health and policy responses. Contributions often draw from psychology, psychiatry, clinical science, neuroscience, sociology, and epidemiology. Its monthly frequency ensures timely dissemination of cutting-edge research to a global audience of academics, clinicians, and health professionals. As a highly-cited publication indexed in major databases including MEDLINE/PubMed and Scopus, Addictive Behaviors plays a central role in shaping contemporary research and practice in addiction science.
