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》是一本国际性、同行评审的期刊，致力于发表有关酒精对神经系统或其他器官系统的作用或影响的各个方面的多学科生物医学研究。重点研究酒精滥用和酒精中毒的原因和后果，以及酒精相关健康影响的诊断、病因、治疗或预防的生物医学方面。

该期刊面向研究科学家和执业临床医生，发表与饮酒、酒精滥用、寻求酒精行为、耐受性、依赖性、戒断、长期戒酒和复发相关的神经生物学、神经行为学和病理生理学过程的原创研究。此外，该期刊还报道了酒精对终生神经可塑性大脑机制的影响、与青少年酗酒有关的生物因素、治疗酒精中毒的药物治疗策略、酒精滥用和酒精中毒的生物和生化标志物、无节制饮酒的病理影响、对肝脏、免疫系统和其他器官系统影响的生物医学和分子因素以及胎儿酒精谱系障碍的生物医学方面，包括损伤机制、诊断和早期检测、治疗和预防。文章发表在生物医学研究的各个层面，包括：酒精在体外和体内作用的分子和细胞研究；酒精的遗传、药理、行为、发育或病理生理方面的动物模型研究；饮酒的遗传、行为、认知、神经影像学或病理方面的人类研究；诊断（包括双重诊断）、治疗、预防和流行病学的临床研究。该期刊每年出版 9 期；文献引用中“Alcohol”的缩写为“Alcohol”。

Alcohol创刊于1984年，由Elsevier Inc.出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖医学 - 毒理学全领域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所属细分领域中专业影响力一般，过审相对较易，如果您文章质量佳，选择此期刊，发表机率较高。平均审稿速度 较慢,6-12周 约15.6周，影响因子指数2.5，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
