Alcohol

Journal Title：Alcohol

Alcohol is an international, peer-reviewed journal that is devoted to publishing multi-disciplinary biomedical research on all aspects of the actions or effects of alcohol on the nervous system or on other organ systems. Emphasis is given to studies into the causes and consequences of alcohol abuse and alcoholism, and biomedical aspects of diagnosis, etiology, treatment or prevention of alcohol-related health effects.

Intended for both research scientists and practicing clinicians, the journal publishes original research on the neurobiological, neurobehavioral, and pathophysiological processes associated with alcohol drinking, alcohol abuse, alcohol-seeking behavior, tolerance, dependence, withdrawal, protracted abstinence, and relapse. In addition, the journal reports studies on the effects alcohol on brain mechanisms of neuroplasticity over the life span, biological factors associated with adolescent alcohol abuse, pharmacotherapeutic strategies in the treatment of alcoholism, biological and biochemical markers of alcohol abuse and alcoholism, pathological effects of uncontrolled drinking, biomedical and molecular factors in the effects on liver, immune system, and other organ systems, and biomedical aspects of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder including mechanisms of damage, diagnosis and early detection, treatment, and prevention. Articles are published from all levels of biomedical inquiry, including the following: molecular and cellular studies of alcohol's actions in vitro and in vivo; animal model studies of genetic, pharmacological, behavioral, developmental or pathophysiological aspects of alcohol; human studies of genetic, behavioral, cognitive, neuroimaging, or pathological aspects of alcohol drinking; clinical studies of diagnosis (including dual diagnosis), treatment, prevention, and epidemiology. The journal will publish 9 issues per year; the accepted abbreviation for Alcohol for bibliographic citation is Alcohol.

《酒精》是一本國際性、同行評審的期刊，致力于發表有關酒精對神經系統或其他器官系統的作用或影響的各個方面的多學科生物醫學研究。重點研究酒精濫用和酒精中毒的原因和后果，以及酒精相關健康影響的診斷、病因、治療或預防的生物醫學方面。

該期刊面向研究科學家和執業臨床醫生，發表與飲酒、酒精濫用、尋求酒精行為、耐受性、依賴性、戒斷、長期戒酒和復發相關的神經生物學、神經行為學和病理生理學過程的原創研究。此外，該期刊還報道了酒精對終生神經可塑性大腦機制的影響、與青少年酗酒有關的生物因素、治療酒精中毒的藥物治療策略、酒精濫用和酒精中毒的生物和生化標志物、無節制飲酒的病理影響、對肝臟、免疫系統和其他器官系統影響的生物醫學和分子因素以及胎兒酒精譜系障礙的生物醫學方面，包括損傷機制、診斷和早期檢測、治療和預防。文章發表在生物醫學研究的各個層面，包括：酒精在體外和體內作用的分子和細胞研究；酒精的遺傳、藥理、行為、發育或病理生理方面的動物模型研究；飲酒的遺傳、行為、認知、神經影像學或病理方面的人類研究；診斷（包括雙重診斷）、治療、預防和流行病學的臨床研究。該期刊每年出版 9 期；文獻引用中“Alcohol”的縮寫為“Alcohol”。

Alcohol創刊于1984年，由Elsevier Inc.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋醫學 - 毒理學全領域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細分領域中專業影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質量佳，選擇此期刊，發表機率較高。平均審稿速度 較慢,6-12周 約15.6周，影響因子指數2.5，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
