Mission & scope

ADAR’s mission is to utilize INRC and IDARS’ multidisciplinary expertise, technological advancements and translational tools to enhance collaboration of scientists around the world not only to improve drug and alcohol abuse therapeutics, but to seek diverse cell, gene and proteomic, neuro-immuno-microbiome targets to treat drug addiction.

An outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers supports the Editor-in-Chief Emmanuel Onaivi, a Professor at William Paterson University in New Jersey USA. This multidisciplinary Open Access journal welcomes and will publish original manuscripts, commentaries, reviews on all drugs of abuse using diverse in-vitro and in-vivo molecular, cellular and systems biological approaches in pre-clinical models and clinical studies. Special issues and section editors will be dedicated to highlight key areas of psychostimulant, opiates, alcohol, cannabis and cannabinoids, hallucinogens and psychiatric co-morbidities along with the growing food and digital addictions.

The journal of Advances in Drug and Alcohol Research will use Frontiers’ transformative Open Access platform and aims to be the global Open Access leader in all fields of the science of drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. All publications receive objective and rigorous peer-review processes. Furthermore, ADAR aims to bring together drug and alcohol abuse scientists and clinicians from across the globe to share and discuss the current state of knowledge, challenges and the future of drug addiction that continues to be a global problem. Frontiers’ transparent peer-review approach allows authors to interact with reviewers and editors to improve the articles for publication.

ADAR would like to recognize Dr Michael Kuhar, Emeritus Professor and Editor, has contributed to many publications with IDARS over the years.
