When I became editor-in-chief for Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs (NAD) at the beginning of 2017, one of the first needs I identified was to provide some sort of support for qualitative papers. These papers difficult to orient in the right direction and therefore demanded a lot of resources from the journal. Why this is the case is a question that has been written about extensively both in this and other journals (see, for example, Hellman, 2017; Järvinen-Tassopoulos, 2017).

处理定性工作


2017 年初，当我成为《北欧酒精和毒品研究》 ( NAD ) 的主编时，我发现的首要需求之一就是为定性论文提供某种支持。这些论文很难确定正确的方向，因此需要期刊提供大量资源。为什么会出现这种情况，这个问题在本期刊和其他期刊中已被广泛讨论（例如，参见 Hellman，2017 年；Järvinen-Tassopoulos，2017 年）。
