The Bulletin on Narcotics is designed to provide information on developments in drug control at the local, national, regional and international levels that would benefit the international community. It is a United Nations publication that is available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish.
Individuals and organizations are invited by the Editor to contribute articles to the Bulletin dealing with policies, approaches, measures and developments (theoretical and/or practical) relating to various aspects of the drug control effort. Of particular interest are the results of research, studies and practical experience that would provide useful information for policy makers, practitioners and experts, as well as the public at large.
The present issue of the Bulletin contains papers that were originally prepared for the Third International Symposium on the Economic and Social Costs of Substance Abuse, organized by the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse in Banff, Alberta, Canada, from 31 May to 3 June 2000.
All manuscripts submitted for publication in the Bulletin should constitute original and scholarly work that has not been published elsewhere or is not being submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. The work should be of relatively high professional calibre in order to meet the requirements of a United Nations technical publication. Contributors are kindly asked to exercise discretion in the content of manuscripts so as to exclude any critical judgement of a particular national or regional situation.
The preferred mode of transmission of manuscripts is in Word format. Each submitted manuscript should consist of an original hard copy and a 3.5 diskette, in Word for the text and Excel or Lotus for charts and tables, in any of the six official languages of the United Nations. The manuscript should be accompanied by an abstract of approximately 200 words and by a complete set of references numbered in the order of their appearance in the text. The manuscript should be between 10 and 20 double-spaced typewritten pages, including tables, figures and references. Tables should be self-explanatory and should supplement, not duplicate, information provided in the text.
Manuscripts, together with brief curricula vitae of their authors, should be addressed to the Editor, Bulletin on Narcotics, United Nations International Drug Control Programme, P.O. Box 500, A-1400 Vienna, Austria. A transmittal letter should designate one author as correspondent and include his or her complete address, telephone number and, if available, facsimile number and e-mail address. Unpublished manuscripts will be returned to the authors; however, the United Nations cannot be held responsible for loss.
