The academic journals are a major way of keeping up to date with research in the field. As part of our mission to encourage debate in the field we have put a new page in the blog on selected articles in current publications. You can see the headlines on the main site on the evidence base page.
Since
September 2006, DrugScope's Website and Information Service has been keeping us
up-to-date with drugs publications through its blog, DrugData Update,
http://drugscope.blogspot.com/ Monday-Thursday
it lists new additions to DrugData, DrugScope's database of 108,000+ books,
articles and items of grey literature. On Fridays, it features a "focus article"
on a topic of interest. You can access the blog from the main site at http://www.alcohol-drugs.co.uk/the%20evidence.htm
