Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs (JSAD)

Established: 1940 (JSAD is the oldest substance-related journal published in the United States) The Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs is an entirely nonprofit publication, based at the Center of Alcohol and Substance Use Studies at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey—a public university. If you're sick of for-profit, corporate publishing, please consider submitting articles to the journal, reviewing for us, and otherwise being involved with the journal and making nonprofit journal publishing a success. It's genuinely not for profit—the funds generated go directly back to fund the day-to-day operations of the journal itself. It doesn't fund any other operations at the university, and no one at the university gets their office refurnished by journal funds The Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs began in 1940 as the Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol. It was founded by Howard W. Haggard, M.D., director of Yale University’s Laboratory of Applied Physiology. Dr. Haggard was a physiologist studying the effects of alcohol on the body, and he started the Journal as a way to publish the increasing amount of research on alcohol use, abuse, and treatment that emerged from Yale and other institutions in the years following the repeal of National Prohibition in 1933. In addition to original research, the journal also published abstracts summarizing other published documents dealing with alcohol. At Yale, Dr. Haggard built a large team of alcohol researchers within the Laboratory of Applied Physiology—including E.M. Jellinek, who became managing editor of the Journal in 1941. In 1943, to bring together the various alcohol research projects conducted by the Laboratory, Dr. Haggard formed the Section of Studies on Alcohol, which also became home to the Journal and its editorial staff. In 1950, the Section was renamed the Center of Alcohol Studies. The journal receives no subsidies from Rutgers University and pays for all operations through journal sales and other income generated by the journal itself. The Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs (2007–present) is the oldest substance-related, peer-reviewed journal published in the United States, formerly the Journal of Studies on Alcohol (1975–2006) and the Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol (1940–1974). It is a nonprofit published by Alcohol Research Documentation, Inc., based at the Center of Alcohol & Substance Use Studies at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. JSAD is a multidisciplinary journal publishing research on all aspects of substance use.
