The official publication of SSSR is Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion [JSSR].

SSSS brings together an interdisciplinary group of professionals who believe in the importance of both the production of quality research and the clinical, educational, and social applications of research related to all aspects of sexuality.

The Society has over 900 members. It is organized into three regional organizations (Eastern, Midcontinent, and Western).

The official publication of SSSS is Sexual Science.

Official publications:

• Addiction
• Addiction Biology

The aims of the SSBP are to share information about behavioural phenotypes, to refine the research methodologies used in their investigation, to facilitate and co-ordinate research, and to disseminate information through publications, workshops and symposia. Advances in our understanding of the organic underpinning and molecular genetics of intellectually disabling syndromes are now creating a need for rigorous study of the associated specific behaviours.

The Society provides a multidisciplinary environment for the free exchange of ideas and information, and serves as a resource for scientific expertise and education on topics related to the study of ingestive behavior.
