References

References must be ordered alphabetically by authors’ names. Start each reference with a bibliography number; use these numbers in squared parentheses for in-text citations. Personal communications, unpublished manuscripts, submitted but not yet accepted, and similar unpublished items should not appear in the reference list. Such citations may be noted in the text.
Please use the following guidelines for arranging references:

Journal article:
Maremmani A. G. I., Rovai L., Maremmani I. (2012): Heroin addicts' psychopathological subtypes. Correlations with the natural history of illness. Heroin Addict Relat Clin Probl. 14(1): 11-22.

Book:
Tagliamonte A., Maremmani I. (1995): Drug Addiction and Related Clinical Problems. Springer-Verlag, Wien, New York.

Book Chapter:
Dole V. P. (1995): Methadone Maintenance. Comes of Age. In: Tagliamonte A., Maremmani I. (Eds.): Drug Addiction and Related Clinical Problems.Springer-Verlag, Wien New York. pp. 45-49.

Journal names should be abbreviated as they appear in Index Medicus; journals not currently indexed there should not be abbreviated.

In organising references in the text, we strongly suggest using a “reference manager”, namely EndNote. Please insert the reference code in the article text, permitting us to export a travelling bibliography. On our website, you can download the EndNote style for Heroin Addiction and Related Clinical Problems to facilitate making a bibliography. Manuscripts must comply with these rules to be considered further.
