Archives of Drug Information (ADI) is a new open access, peer reviewed-journal, dedicated to rapid publication of the results of drug trials.

ADI will consider: clinical studies including those deemed ‘low priority’ by other journals, negative and ‘null’ studies, early PK drug development studies, routine PH or interaction studies, dose finding studies, animal toxicity studies, and pilot studies.

ADI allows the pharmaceutical industry to publish articles in a peer-reviewed, unbiased journal, easily accessible to drug development scientists and the public around the world.
