About the Journal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Journal of Gambling Issues (JGI<\/em>) is the world’s first and longest-running online, academic journal dedicated to understanding problem gambling. Due to the increasing convergence of gambling and gaming, the JGI<\/em> expanded its scope in 2020 to include problem video gaming and technology use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n JGI<\/em> is an open-access, indexed journal with a double blind peer review process that provides a scientific forum for developments in gambling-related research, policy issues, and treatments. JGI<\/em> is now part of the Web of Science: Emerging Sources Citation Index.<\/em> We are also indexed in Scopus, Crossref, Elselvier Series, Ebsco, Scimago and PsycInfo, <\/em>among others. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Publishing Schedule and Fees:<\/strong> Issues are published triannually, although manuscripts are made publicly available as soon as they have been accepted\/typeset on the JGI Online First<\/em> platform. JGI<\/em> does not charge any review or publication fees and is fully open access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The JGI<\/em> is published by CDS Press. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Electronic Journal ISSN 1910-7595<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n All peer-reviewed manuscripts (i.e., papers intended as Original Research Papers, Brief Reports, Reviews of the Literature, Policy or Clinic papers) are evaluated anonymously (double blind) by at least two reviewers with expertise in the field of gambling studies, and\/or relevant specialization in a related discipline. If the reviewers are in disagreement over the merit of a paper, an additional review is solicited. Opinion pieces are reviewed by members of the journal’s editorial board or, if a suitable reviewer cannot be found from the board, an external expert in the field. The editor mediates the reviewers\u2019 assessments and makes the final decision. There are three possible outcomes: 1) the manuscript is accepted as is; 2) the manuscript is returned with minor or major revisions and authors are provided with reviewers’ comments and an invitation to rewrite and resubmit for review; 3) the manuscript is rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a manuscript is accepted the author(s) will receive a copy-edited draft of their manuscript, and must answer all queries and carefully check all editorial changes. Authors are responsible for the specific content of their manuscripts, including the accuracy of citations and references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Editor-in-Chief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nigel E.
