The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse

The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse (AJDAA) is committed to the publication of preclinical science. While the journal has traditionally focused on the clinical sciences, we believe that addiction research is an interdisciplinary effort that demands communication between preclinical and clinical investigators. We therefore welcome the submission of manuscripts in areas of epigenetic mechanisms, genetic influences, individual differences, and those presenting a translational perspective, although all preclinical papers are of interest.

In our most recent issue, the AJDAA is offering the work of Amri et al. titled “Transgenerational modification of hippocampus TNF-α and S100B levels in the offspring of rats chronically exposed to morphine during adolescence” as free access for the next two years.

Please feel free to contact our Associate Editor for Preclinical Science, Sakire Pogun at sakirepogun@gmail.com or sakire.pogun@ege.edu.tr, with any questions.
