Alcohol Research is a new international abstract journal reviewing the most 
outstanding articles in the scientific literature on the biomedical and 
psychosocial aspects of alcohol use and misuse. The journal aims at 
contributing to a balanced view on the risks and benefits of alcohol 
consumption.

Alcohol Research provides a readily accessible overview of recent 
literature for academic researchers, health care professionals and 
researchers and policy makers in government and industry.

Alcohol Research was established in 1996, with financial support from the 
Netherlands Foundation for Alcohol Research (SAR), as the successor of the 
abstract journal Alcohol Digest (established in 1992) and its Dutch 
companion journal Alcohol Selectief (established in 1983). It is published 
by TNO Nutrition and Food Research Institute. TNO is a fully independent 
Dutch research and development organization.

Alcohol Research provides 60 comprehensive structured abstracts in each of 
the six issues published annually. Editorials, reports and reviews further 
contribute to providing an up-to-date, critical overview of current 
literature. Moreover, each issue contains a list of recently published 
books and an international conference calendar. The abstracts are divided 
over four sections: Epidemiology, Medicine, Physiology and 
Sociology/Psychology. For each section, a section editor of international 
reputation is responsible for selecting the papers to be abstracted. 
Criteria for selection include scientific soundness, originality and 
innovativeness. Reviews are only included when the compilation of data 
leads to an original interpretation or conclusion. A brief introduction 
groups abstracts related to the same subject, thus facilitating a broader 
view.
