This may be true for publishing, but being cut off from a bulk of literature behind a paywall is another matter

It's a slightly updated and revised English version of my previous German book on the topic. People with university accounts should have access to the link. If not, send me a message and I will provide a PDF.

Can somebody provide the PDF to me? I don't have access which is surprising as I have had access to the SAMHSA site for years (residing in Europe). If so, please send it to [email protected]. Thanks in advance

An ode to Europe: our continent (including the UK of course) is a haven of political stability and liberalism (with certain exceptions) compared to other regions in the northern hemisphere:

Residing in Switzerland, I've received an application from an US research refugee who explicitly mentioned the political situation. Strange times, indeed...

Academics - where are academic jobs posted for non-UK non-North American countries? If you were looking for jobs in, say, the Nordic countries, or Australia, where do you look? Asking for all the PhDs who are on the market this year. (Pls no April fools jokes, their nerves are frayed as it is)

You are right in principle, but I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. Non English speakers (I'm German) have to publish in the lingua franca to become cited. AI software is of great help with translations.
