Addicta Publishes Its First Issue of 2025

The first issue of Addicta: The Turkish Journal on Addictions for 2025 has been released. Published by the Green Crescent, the peer-reviewed academic journal has been redesigned with a new concept and format, while continuing to feature English as its primary language and providing extended abstracts in Turkish. The journal’s renewed website can be accessed at: https://www.addicta.com.tr/.

First launched in 2014, Addicta serves as a platform for original, interdisciplinary, and international research on addiction—one of today’s most pressing global challenges. The journal aims to foster high-quality academic debate and support the development of addiction-related policies, particularly within Türkiye.

Since 2015, Addicta has been indexed in prominent national and international databases, including the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye) Social Sciences and Humanities Database, InfoBase INDEX, Academic Search Premier (EBSCO), Turkish Psychiatry Index, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), DOAJ, GALE, and SCOPUS.

Published quarterly by the Turkish Green Crescent Society, Addicta: The Turkish Journal on Addictions will focus its 2025 special issue on Behavioral Addictions. Researchers are invited to submit their manuscripts by September 30, 2025. More information is available at: https://www.addicta.com.tr/en/special-issue-call-1032.
