《自殺研究檔案》是國際自殺研究學會(IASR)的官方期刊，是自殺學領域的國際期刊。該雜志在自殺研究、自殺行為、自殺的原因和后果、自殺的預防和干預方面有獨到的、有參考價值的貢獻。該雜志發表文章調查自殺的生物學、藥理學、遺傳學、心理學、流行病學和社會學方面。除了原創的研究文章，該雜志還發表了與自殺行為相關的高質量文獻綜述。ASR的編輯們注意到研究和實踐的一般方法(定量的/名義的)和利用具體案例研究的方法(定性的/具體的)之間的二分法。編輯們在熱切地接受這兩派自殺學家的工作的同時，最終希望建立一個論壇，試圖調和和融合這些對立模式。他們相信，通過將一般和具體結合起來，自殺學領域將成為一門更加科學的學科，一門鼓勵公開交流知識和技術的學科。ASR的使命是成為熱情傳播這種交流成果的主要渠道。

Archives of Suicide Research , the official journal of the International Academy of Suicide Research (IASR), is an international journal in the field of suicidology. The journal features original, refereed contributions on the study of suicide, suicidal behavior, its causes and effects, its prevention and intervention. The journal publishes articles investigating the biological, pharmacological, genetic, psychological, epidemiological and sociological aspects of suicide. In addition to original research articles, the journal publishes high quality literature reviews relevant to suicidal behavior.The editors of ASR are mindful of the dichotomy between general (quantitative/nomothetic) methods of research and practice and approaches that utilize specific case studies (qualitative/idiographic). While eagerly accepting work from suicidologists situated on both sides of this division, the editors ultimately wish to cultivate a forum that attempts to reconcile and merge these oppositional modes. It is their belief that, by amalgamating the general and the specific, the field of suicidology will become a more scientific discipline - a discipline that encourages the open exchange of knowledge and techniques. And it is the mission of ASR to be the primary conduit through which the results of such exchanges will be enthusiastically disseminated.
