Journal overview

Archives of Suicide Research , the official journal of the International Academy of Suicide Research (IASR), is an international journal in the field of suicidology. The journal features original, refereed contributions on the study of suicide, suicidal behavior and self harm, their causes and effects, their prevention and intervention. The journal publishes articles investigating the biological, pharmacological, genetic, psychological, epidemiological cultural and sociological aspects of suicide. It also welcomes intervention studies designed to reduce the risk of suicide and suicidal behavior. In addition to original research articles, the journal publishes high quality literature reviews relevant to suicidal behavior.

The editors of ASR are mindful of the dichotomy between general (quantitative/nomothetic) methods of research and practice and approaches that utilize specific case studies (qualitative/idiographic). While eagerly accepting work from suicidologists situated on both sides of this division, the editors ultimately wish to cultivate a forum that attempts to reconcile and merge these oppositional modes. They aim to promote a scientific discipline that encourages the open exchange of knowledge and techniques to advance international suicide prevention efforts. And it is the mission of ASR to be the primary conduit through which the results of such exchanges will be enthusiastically disseminated.
