ISAJE is proud to announce that we are collaborating with the Society for the Study of Addiction (SSA) to produce a new podcast, "Publishing Addiction Science: a podcast for the perplexed" based on our book of the same name. Hosted by ISAJE Executive Officer, Casy Calver, and SSA's head of communications and operations, Rob Calder, the podcast features interviews and conversations with editors, publishers, and others in the field. We hope that anyone involved in the publishing of addiction research will learn something, from students, trainees, and early-career researchers, to seasoned scholars and activists.
​Season 1 is out now! Click below to listen, or search for "Addictions Edited" on your favorite podcast platform. 
Picture
The book, 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.

The updated third edition of Publishing Addiction Science is published by Ubiquity Press and can be accessed online here. Supplementary material can be accessed here.
