Substance Abuse Treatment, Prevention, and Policy
http://www.substanceabusepolicy.com/

Substance Abuse Treatment, Prevention, and Policy is an Open Access, peer-reviewed online journal that will encompass all aspects of research concerning substance abuse, with a focus on policy issues. The journal aims to provide an environment for the exchange of ideas, new research, consensus papers, and critical reviews, to bridge the established fields that share a mutual goal of reducing substance abuse. These fields include: legislation pertaining to substance abuse; correctional supervision of substance abusers; medical treatment and screening; mental health services; research; and evaluation of substance abuse programs. Substance Abuse Treatment, Prevention, and Policy considers the following types of articles:

* Research: reports of data from original research.
* Review: comprehensive, authoritative descriptions of any subject within the journal's scope. These are usually written by opinion leaders invited by the Editorial Board.
* Commentary: short, focused and opinionated articles on any subject within the scope of the journal. These articles are usually related to a contemporary issue, such as recent research
findings, and are often written by opinion leaders.
* Database article: describe a new database or a substantial improvement of an existing database.
* Debate article: present an argument that is not essentially based on practical research. Debate articles can report on all aspects of the subject including sociological and ethical issues.
* Hypothesis: short articles presenting an untested original hypothesis backed solely by previously published results rather than any new evidence.
* Methodology article: present a new experimental method, test or procedure. The method described may either be completely new, or may offer a better version of an existing method.
* Short report: brief reports of data from original research.

This will be added to Healthcare Resources 2006 Internet MiniGuide.
