The complete archive of Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs (NAD) 1984-2017 is now available at the journal’s web page. The first issue of the scientific journal Alkoholpolitik – Tidskrift för nordisk alkoholforskning (Alcohol Policy – Journal for Nordic Alcohol Research) appeared in 1984.
It was initiatied by the Finnish alcohol monopoly ALKO in cooperation with the Nordic Council for Alcohol and Drug Research as a journal with an explicitly Nordic agenda. At the time, ALKO had already an established orientation towards Nordic cooperation, and the new journal could be seen as a natural continuation of the Swedish-language version of ALKO’s Finnish journal Alkoholipolitiikka (Alcohol Policy). Consequently, editor-in-chief Kerstin Stenius chose to caption her first editorial “A new-old journal” (“En nygammal tidskrift”) (Stenius, 1984).
In her editorial, Stenius identifies the venture of the new Nordic journal as “unique and exciting”.
