Addicta Publishes Its Second Issue of 2025

The Turkish Green Crescent Society has published the second issue of Addicta: The Turkish Journal on Addictions for 2025.
To mark the organization’s 100th anniversary, Addicta has been reimagined with a renewed concept and visual identity. The journal is published in English, with extended abstracts provided in Turkish. Its redesigned website is now live at https://www.addicta.com.tr/.

First launched in 2014, Addicta is a peer-reviewed, international, and interdisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing original research on addiction — a growing global concern. The journal aims to contribute to academic discourse and support the development of addiction-related policies in Türkiye and beyond.   

Since 2015, Addicta has been indexed in several 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’s upcoming special issue will focus on Behavioral Addictions. Researchers are invited to submit their manuscripts by 30 September 2025.
