About the journal
The Journal of Studies on Alcohol, published in the United States, is a refereed journal concerned with scientific research related to alcohol and drugs. It publishes topics related to the uses and abuses of these agents from the perspectives of the behavioral, biological, medical and sociocultural sciences. It has a worldwide readership and draws from an international array of authors. The Journal is abstracted by 37 services worldwide.
First appearing in 1940, the Journal is published bimonthly beginning in January. Thematic supplements, free to subscribers, are published periodically. The Journal publishes an Editor's Corner, book reviews, guest editorials and correspondence.
The Journal offers authors a venue to submit their work in as timely a fashion as possible. Generally, we try to have reviews completed within two months from submission, usually within five weeks. Overall, we average a 4-8 month time frame from submission to publication, which is quite extraordinary.
Instructions to Authors
Original Studies:
These are reports of original investigations that convey the discovery of new knowledge and whose main emphasis is not the development of methods. While there are occasional exceptions, the recommended length for these reports is 20 double-spaced typewritten pages.
Brief Reports:
These are brief communications that describe new methods, techniques or apparatus of general interest to the field of alcohol and other drug studies, or that present the results of experiments that can be concisely reported with a minimum number of figures and tables. These papers are limited in length to eight double-spaced typewritten pages, excluding the references.
Rapid Communications:
These must contain new information of unusual interest and importance for the field of alcohol and other drug studies. Submissions in this category are eligible for rapid review. These papers are limited in length to eight double-spaced typewritten pages, excluding the references, but including tables and figures. Authors should follow the same guidelines in preparing these type of submissions that apply to original studies.
Manuscripts submitted as rapid communications must be accompanied by a cover letter that clearly explains the work and its potential significance for the field. Rapid communications accepted for publication will appear in the next available issue of the Journal.
Reviews and Theoretical Articles:
A limited number of comprehensive reviews and theoretical treatises will be published as space permits. While there are occasional exceptions, these reports should be limited to 20 double-spaced typewritten pages, excluding the title page, abstract and references, but including tables.
Correspondence:
The Editor encourages readers' letters, whether they respond to articles or editorial comments published in the Journal, concern important issues of general interest to the field of alcohol and other drug studies or describe upcoming meetings and events of interest to the Journal's readership. Authors will be given the opportunity to reply to accepted letters critical of their work. Correspondence should be sent directly to the Editor:

Most word processing languages are acceptable, but WordPerfect 5.1 or higher is preferred. Each manuscript must be complete with respect to photocopies of tabular and illustrative material (do not use footnotes). One set of original camera-ready figures and four photocopies should be submitted with the manuscript.
Each manuscript should be accompanied by a covering letter indictating whether the paper is submitted as an original study, a brief report, a rapid communication, or a review or theoretical article. The cover letter should also contain the name, address, email address and telephone/fax numbers of the corresponding author and include a statement that the paper contains original material, not submitted, in press or published elsewhere. If the manuscript is one of several papers derived from the same dataset, this should stated clearly in the introduction to the manuscript, as well as the cover letter to the editor. The latter should also explain the unique contribution of the present manuscript.
The Journal has adopted the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors regarding authorship. These state that "All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship. The order of authorship should be joint decision of the co-authors. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content. Authorship credit should be based only on substantial contributions to (a) conception and design, or analysis and interpretation of data; and to (b) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and on (c) final approval of the version to be published. Conditions (a), (b), and (c) must all be met...[The editor] may require authors to justify the assignment of authorship" (Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, 1994).
If the manuscript is accepted for publication, it will be necessary for the Journal of Studies on Alcohol to receive a written Assignment of Copyright from all authors. Forms for the Assignment of Copyright will be mailed from the Editorial Office at Rutgers University. When a manuscript is accepted for publication in the Journal, it is understood that the authors are agreeable to other competent scientists having access to sufficient data to verify the study抯 results.
MANUSCRIPT FORMAT AND ORGANIZATION
Each manuscript must be in English, typewritten on only one side of the paper and everything double-spaced (including references), with liberal margins. The following sections must be included in the order listed: (1) Title page; (2) Abstract; (3) Introduction; (4) Method; (5) Results; (6) Discussion; (7) Acknowledgements; (8) References; (9) Tables; (10) Legends for figures; and (11) Figures.
Title Page:
This should contain the full manuscript title (which should concisely convey the article抯 major contents), the names, academic degrees and affiliations, with complete addresses, of all authors, and the institution(s) of origin. Indications of grant support should appear in the bottom of this page and should include the name of the granting agency and the grant number. This page should also include the name, telephone and fax numbers, and email and street addresses of the corresponding author to whom galley proofs should be sent. The number of tables and the number of figures in the manuscript should be indicated in the top left-hand corner of the title page.
Abstract Page:
Abstracts should be 250 words or less and must include the following information under the these four headings: (1) Objective: the background and purpose of the study; (2) Method: the study design, setting, participants (including manner of sample selection, number and gender of participants) and interventions; (3) Results: details of major findings; and (4) Conclusions: main inferences drawn from results and potential application of findings.
Introduction:
This section, which should begin a new page, should acquaint the reader with the background of the study, and should contain a clear statement of the goals of the investigation or the hypotheses which the study was designed to test.
Method:
The methods should be described in sufficient detail to allow the reader to judge their accuracy, reproducibility and reliability. New methods or procedures and modifications of previously published methods should be described in sufficient detail to permit replication of the study. Commonly used methods require only a citation of the original source.
Results:
The experimental data should be described succinctly but completely in text without redundancy between figures and tables or discrepancy between text and tables. Graphic and tabular displays are preferred to discursive narrative. Sufficient data must be provided to allow readers to judge the variability and reliability of the results. Average values must be accompanied by standard errors or standard deviations (e.g., mean [SD] = 21.5 [0.95] years). Statistical analysis of the data should be explained early so that the interested but non-expert reader can interpret the findings. The results of statistical tests should be accompanied by degrees of freedom (e.g.,  = 12.3, 4 df, p  .02; t = 2.12, 27 df, p .05; F = 6.51, 3/27 df, p .01). For further guidance on the appropriate presentation of results, authors should consult Carpenter, J.A. Between acceptance and publication. A sampling of some common problems. J. Stud. Alcohol 57: 341-343, 1996.
Discussion:
The discussion of the experimental findings and their interpretation should be brief and focused. Alternative interpretations and/or limitations in the procedures should be explained. Avoid repetition of material in the introduction and detailed repetition of the experimental findings. Speculative discussion should be limited and directly relevant to the results obtained.
Acknowledgments:
Acknowledgments made to individuals should be as brief as possible.
References:
This section should begin on a new page. References in text should include the author抯 name and year of publication. With no more than two authors, the text citation should contain the name of the first author followed by "et.al." and the date of the publication.
The references are to be arranged alphabetically by author and not numbered in the reference list. All authors?names must be given in the reference list. If reference is made to more than one publication by the same authors in the same year, suffixes a,b,c, etc. should be added to the year, both in the text citation and in the reference list.
Each journal reference should be arranged as follows, all authors?names and initials, title of the cited article, title of the journal in which the article appeared, volume number of the journal; inclusive pagination; and the year of publication.
Citations of personal communications or unpublished observations should be given in parentheses at the appropriate place in the text, not in the list of references. If a paper has been submitted for publication but has not yet been accepted, the reference citation should include the authors?names and the title of the article, followed by "submitted for publication." A paper may not be cited as "in press" unless it has been accepted for publication and the journal name must be given.
Book references should include the author or editors, the title, the city and state of publication, the publisher and the year of publication.
Chapters in edited books should include all authors?names, the title of the article, the editors?names, the book title, the city and state of publication, the publisher, the year and the chapter pages.
No more than four references should be cited in support of any given point except in very unusual circumstances. Examples of reference style follow:

Tables:
Each table should be typewritten on a separate page, should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and should be designed to fit the column (3? x 9") or page (7" x 9") size of the Journal. Each table must have a concise descriptive heading and be constructed as simply as possible. Tables must be intelligible without reference to the text. Footnotes to tables should be referred to by italicized lowercase superscript letters (a,b,c, etc.) and should appear beneath the table involved, not on a separate page of the manuscript.
Figure Legends:
These should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and should appear on a separate page of the manuscript. Legends should explain the figures in sufficient detail so that repeated reference to the text is unnecessary. Abbreviations in the legends should conform to those in the text.
Figures:
One set of graphs and diagrams must be submitted as sharp photographs on white glossy paper, unmounted, or as original laser prints, with the figure number and the author抯 name indicated on the front of each print (at the top of the print, above the material to be reproduced). Photocopies of all figures must accompany each of the four copies of the manuscript submitted. Figures will be photoreduced and thus must be supplied fully camera-ready. Symbols, numbers and letters should be supplied in 11 to 14 point boldface (2.5-3.5 mm); rules (i.e. lines) should also be printed boldface. The title of each figure should appear in the legend rather than on the figure itself. Line drawings and graphs should be professionally drawn and lettered; free hand or typewritten lettering is unacceptable.
Abbreviations, Symbols and Nomenclature:
Concentrations of alcohol (BAC) should be expressed in percent for whole blood and in mg/dl for plasma. Whether whole blood or plasma was used should be indicated. The forensic standard for BAC in some states (e.g. DWI = .10%) is measured in whole blood and is 85% of BAC measured in plasma (118 mg/dl).
Alcohol dose should be expressed in g/kg to facilitate comparisons across preparations and species.
Alcohol used in in-vitro studies should be expressed in mM.
Standard abbreviations for the route of alcohol administration are as follows: IG, intragastric; IP, intraperitoneal; IV, intravenous; PO, orally.
Nonstandard abbreviations, symbols or acronyms not easily understood by the general scientific reader should be avoided. In general, abbreviations should be avoided in text except for standard units of mass, concentration, time, length or volume and temperature, and routes of drug administration, standard error and standard deviation.
Drugs: Generic names should be used in the text, tables and figures. Trade names may be mentioned in parenthesis in the first text reference to the drug, but should not appear in titles, figures or tables. When a trade name is used, it should be capitalized; generic or chemical names are not capitalized. The form of drug used in calculations of doses (e.g. base or salt) should be indicated.
Ethical Assurances:
Studies involving human subjects should explicitly indicate that informed consent was given for participation in the research.
Studies involving animals should indicate that care and maintenance were conducted in accordance with NAS-NRC guidelines. The type and dose of the anesthetic agent used in surgical procedures should be specified.
Pagination:
Each manuscript page should be numbered consecutively in the upper right-hand corner and the last name of the first author should appear next to the page number. Other than the Introduction and the References, sections do not need to begin on a new page.
PROOFS AND REPRINTS
Galley proofs will be sent to the corresponding author and should be returned within 72 hours. A reprint order form and price list will accompany galley proofs.
Copies of these instructions may be obtained free of charge from the Editorial Office at Rutgers University. Please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office if you have any questions or comments about these instructions.
