The International Journal of Drug Policy is a bimonthly journal for the dissemination of current research, reviews, debate, and critical analysis on drug use and drug policy in a global context. It seeks to publish material on the social, political, legal and health contexts of psychoactive substance use, both licit and illicit. The journal is particularly concerned to explore the effects of drug policy and practice on drug using behaviour and its health and social consequences. It is the policy of the journal to represent a wide range of material on drug-related matters from around the world.
Readership
The journal has a broad readership drawn from the variety of disciplines working in the area of licit and illicit drug use and drug policy, including those working in social science, research and evaluation, health and community services, education and welfare, criminal justice, and policy development. The journal seeks an international readership.
Types of manuscripts
The journal encourages the submission of the following types of manuscript:
Editorials: These are usually between 1,500 and 2,500 words, and seek to raise a particular topic or issue for debate, no matter how controversial.
Commentaries: These are usually between 2,500 and 4,000 words, and seek to raise a particular topic or issue for debate. Occasionally, and given the consent of the author, the Editor may suggest inviting expert responses to commentaries for publication in the same issue.
Responses: Responses are short comments on papers published in the current or previous issues. They are usually between 500 and 1,000 words.
Reviews: These are usually between 4,000 and 8,000 words, and seek to review systematically a particular area of research, intervention, or policy. Occasionally, and given the consent of the author, the Editor may suggest inviting commentaries or responses to reviews.
Research papers: These are usually between 3,000 and 5,000 words, and exceptionally up to 7,000 words. These are usually based on original empirical research, but may also be discursive critical essays. Occasionally papers of a similar topic will be published as a 'special focus' within the same issue.
Policy and analysis: These occasional sections include commentaries and critical analysis with a focus upon drug policy developments, and are usually between 3,000 and 5,000 words, and exceptionally up to 7,000 words.
Letters and short reports: These are usually between 750 and 1,500 words, and comprise either letters to the Editor, preliminary findings, or short reports based on research.
Review essays: Review essays are extended commentaries on books, journal papers and other media, usually between 1,500 and 2,500 words. Review essays provide an opportunity for extensive critical discussion of contemporary books and other material such as film electronic information sources. Review essays also provide an opportunity to revisit classic books or journal papers; reviewers are invited to reflect on earlier work that has had a significant impact on the field in general or which has been a significant influence on the writer.
Book reviews: These are usually between 250 and 1,750 words. If you have read a recently published book on issues connected with drug use and/or drug policy which you would like to review, contact Gillian Hunter (gillian.hunter@kcl.ac.uk) to discuss whether it is appropriate for IJDP.
Submission of manuscripts
The journal welcomes manuscripts related to current research, reviews, debate and critical analysis on drug use and drug policy in a global context. It seeks to publish material on the social, political, legal, and health contexts of psychoactive substance use, both licit and illicit.
International Journal of Drug Policy uses an online, electronic submission system. By accessing the website http://ees.elsevier.com/drugpo/ you will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. When submitting a manuscript to Elsevier Editorial System, authors need to provide an electronic version of their manuscript. Authors may send queries concerning the submission process, manuscript status, or journal procedures to the Editorial Office:
IJDP, Editorial Office Health Sciences, ELSEVIER, Room 19.030, PO Box 993, 1000 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
E-mail: ijdp@elsevier.com
Tel: +31 (0) 20 485 3088
Fax: +31 (0) 20 485 3378
Once the uploading is done, the system automatically generates an electronic (PDF) proof, which is then used for reviewing. All correspondence, including the Editor's decision and request for revisions, will be by e-mail.
Authors' responsibilities
By submitting material for publication the authors warrant
•that it is their original work and that it has not been published in whole or in part elsewhere and is not under consideration by any other journal. If any part of the material has been or is being published elsewhere the authors should state this in an accompanying letter.
•that all persons named as authors have made a major contribution to the work reported, and are prepared to take public responsibility for its contents. Participation solely in the acquisition of funding or the collection of data does not justify authorship.
All authors must give signed consent to publication.
Conflict of interest
In order to make the best decision on a paper we should know about any competing interest that authors and reviewers of that paper may have.
We will not reject a paper simply because of an authors competing interest but we do publish statements on such interests.
Include in a covering letter any conflict of interest or state that there is no conflict of interest. A conflict of interest is where professional, personal, or financial considerations could be seen by a fair minded person as potentially in conflict with independence of judgement.
Ethics
It is the author's responsibility to ensure that work is of a high ethical standard.
What happens after we receive your manuscript?
Manuscript acknowledgement
Corresponding authors will be sent an acknowledgement that their manuscript has been received.
Review of manuscripts
Initial review: On receipt all manuscripts are seen by one of the Editors to assess overall suitability for publication in IJDP in terms of topic area and quality. A paper may be rejected at this stage if it falls outside the journals aims and scope; if there are obvious problems with presentation, argument or research; or if it is unoriginal.
Full peer view: After passing initial review submissions are assigned to one of the Editors or Assistant Editors. Manuscripts are sent to two or three peer reviewers. Reviewers advise the Editors, who are responsible for the final decision to accept or reject a manuscript. Peer reviewers are asked to respond within three weeks and are asked to rate the paper and to include comments for the Editors and for the authors. We aim to get a quick decision for authors, but review and appraisal by the editors is normally a minimum of eight weeks and can on occasions be longer. We aim to inform you if there is a delay. If you want information about progress please email the editorial office. All material accepted for publication may be subject to editorial revision. If your article is accepted for publication you will receive a proof copy from the Publisher. It is your responsibility to read, correct and return the proof within 48 hours.
