Editors Message
As part of our continuing efforts to improve our service to authors and make life easier for reviewers, we are pleased to announce that, from 5 January 2009, Addiction will be changing our web-based submission and peer review system to Manuscript Central.
From 5 January 2009 all new manuscript submissions should be made at Addiction's Manuscript Central site.
We trust that this system will be quick and convenient for both authors and reviewers, and will enable us to reduce the time it takes to make a decision on a manuscript. Manuscripts submitted prior to the change over using the previous on-line submission procedure will continue through the old system.
In order to make the move over to Manuscript Central smooth and
trouble-free, we ask that authors hold off from making submissions between 22 December 2008, when the old submission system will be taken down, and 5 January 2009, when Manuscript Central will go live.
We hope that authors and reviewers will find that the new system makes their lives easier and we look forward to the new system streamlining the review process, leading to rapid decision making and ensuring that the time from submission to publication is as short as possible.
