All of the chapters in this book speak to our aspirations to contribute to addiction
science and to have a role in the scientific life of this field. In large part, this role
comes through being published in peer-reviewed journals.

A career in addiction science is largely built on the (perceived) quality of publications
that a researcher (or a team of researchers) offers his or her colleagues. If these
publications are numerous and of high quality, they lead to research funding and
employment. To gauge the contribution of a researcher to addiction science, fellow
researchers may consciously or unconsciously compute the number of worthwhile
publications that a colleague has produced in relation to the number of years she has
published. The greater speed of release for journal articles when compared with books,
typically months versus years, means that those who wish to influence their field of
study need to publish in peer-reviewed journals in order to communicate quickly their
research results.
This chapter offers the novice author a step-by-step guide to prepare a paper for
publication. Annotated bibliographies and references listed at the end suggest further
readings worth consulting about specific problems. The chapter begins with the
proviso that good paper written by a graduate student or a junior investigator may be
highly praised by faculty and colleagues and yet fall short of being publishable. Indeed,
editors regularly receive
