Behind the Scenes of Addiction Journal: Submission and Review Insights
“We make mistakes, we accept things we shouldn't and we reject things we shouldn't. There's no denying that that could be the case, but I'm pleased about the fact that, first off, I think the papers do get in are very high quality, and also that a lot of papers that we don't accept but we give feedback on, do appear in the literature and are good papers.”
Ever wondered what happens after you hit 'submit' on a research paper? In this episode, Editor-in-Chief Robert West and Regional Editor for the Americas Keith Humphreys take you behind the curtain of the Addiction Journal's submission and review process. Unlike many journals, Addiction Journal employs a unique, multi-tiered system that starts with regional editors providing initial feedback. From there, senior editors make the final call, while associate editors handle revisions and resubmissions.
This rigorous process ensures only top-notch research gets published, though it’s not without its challenges and occasional mistakes. Even rejected papers receive constructive feedback to help authors improve their work. If you're curious about the meticulous journey a paper takes from submission to publication, or if you're an aspiring researcher wanting to understand what goes on behind the scenes, this episode offers valuable insights into the inner workings of one of the leading journals in addiction research.
