Addiction & Health is an open access peer-reviewed journal published by Kerman University of Medical Sciences since 2009. The journal offers an opportunity for researchers to publish research findings into the impact of addiction on health in all experimental, clinical, and epidemiological aspects. Addiction & Health considers high-quality original articles, review articles, case reports, short communications, and letters to editors for publication. From January 1, 2025, manuscripts accepted for publication in Addiction and health will undergo language editing before processing. The cost of translation and English editing by a company approved by the journal will be the responsibility of the Iranian authors. The cost of language editing for international authors will be covered by the journal. Geographical coverage including coverage of the poorest countries and low- and middle- income countries is a priority at the Addiction & Health.
We are pleased to announce that Addiction & Health is now officially indexed in Scopus, one of the world's leading abstract and citation databases.
We thank our authors, reviewers, and readers for their continued support.
