Identifying the alcohol evidence base

PEER-REVIEWED ALCOHOL AND DRUG RESEARCH JOURNALS

Click on titles to go the relevant webpage. The journal impact factor[i] is provided alongside the title, and fully open-access journals are identified. Most journals have an open access option for authors, so a small proportion of their recent articles may also be freely available.
