New Call for Submissions

Porn Addiction: Legitimate or Imaginary Behavioral Disorder?
There is a scarcity of research about “porn addiction.” Is such behavior merely a variation of human sexuality or is it a pathological compulsive addiction with far-ranging effects on psychological well being?¹ For years mental health professionals and researchers have debated what constitutes hypersexual disorders and rightful inclusion in the DSM.^2,3

In light of the above, Cureus is hereby sending out a call for scientific articles that broadly relate to the field of pornography and its potential behavioral manifestations.

Call for Submissions Reminders

Covid-19 Retrospective
Now in year three, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rock the global healthcare community. The objective of this call for submissions is to focus on what the world of medicine and public health got right in its approach to this pandemic, but even more so, where did we all go wrong and why?

We want to hear from our community of physicians and public health experts. How did the pandemic change your perspectives and practices? In what ways could the public health response have been improved and what kind of changes can public health officials make to combat future pandemics?

Editors will consider original articles, review articles, editorials, case reports, and “autobiographical case reports.” Please add the keyword “COVID-19 Retro” to your submission to be included in the email campaign and newsroom page. The deadline for submissions is September 30th, 2022.

The Clinical & Public Health Implications of Abortion Bans and Restrictions
While the United Stated Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade prompted this call for articles, we understand that abortion access and reproductive rights are a global topic affecting people all over the world.

Editors will consider original articles, review articles, editorials, case reports, and “autobiographical case reports.” Please add the keyword “abortion” to your submission to be included in the email campaign and newsroom page. The deadline for submissions is October 31st, 2022
