Submit Online
As part of our continuing efforts to improve our service to authors and make life easier for reviewers, we are pleased to announce that, from 5 January 2009, Addiction has changed its web-based submission and peer review system to ScholarOne Manuscripts.

From 5 January 2009 all new manuscript submissions should be made at Addiction's ScholarOne Manuscripts site at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/addiction.

We trust that this system will be quick and convenient for both authors and reviewers, and will enable us to reduce the time it takes to make a decision on a manuscript. Manuscripts submitted prior to the change over using the previous on-line submission procedure will continue through the old system.

We hope that authors and reviewers will find that the new system makes their lives easier and we look forward to the new system streamlining the review process, leading to rapid decision making and ensuring that the time from submission to publication is as short as possible.
