The aim of the Journal is to provide a forum for the critical analysis of advanced drug and gene delivery systems and their applications in human and veterinary medicine. The Journal has a broad scope, covering the key issues for effective drug and gene delivery, from administration to site-specific delivery.In general, the Journal publishes review articles in a Theme Issue format. Each Theme Issue provides a comprehensive and critical examination of current and emerging research on the design and development of advanced drug and gene delivery systems and their application to experimental and clinical therapeutics. The goal is to illustrate the pivotal role of a multidisciplinary approach to modern drug delivery, encompassing the application of sound biological and physicochemical principles to the engineering of drug delivery systems to meet the therapeutic need at hand. Importantly the Editorial Team of ADDR asks that the authors effectively window the extensive volume of literature, pick the important contributions and explain their importance, produce a forward looking identification of the challenges facing the field and produce a Conclusions section with expert recommendations to address the issues.Articles review the current status of a specific topic, giving equal emphasis to the identification of major conceptual and technological challenges to successful drug and gene delivery, to an evaluation of triumphs as well as shortcomings in current conceptual and technical approaches, and to a discussion of their possible solution.Theme issues are commissioned by one of the Executive Editors or the Editor-in-Chief. The Journal does not publish stand alone manuscripts. If you wish to submit a theme issue topic for consideration, please contact one of the editors.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Providing a scientific forum for practical applications and theoretical advances of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the life sciences and related disciplines including (but not restricted to):New AI methods for life science researchAdaptation of existing AI concepts for life science applicationsApplication of AI approaches in: Molecular and systems biologyPopulation and disease geneticsBio- and cheminformaticsMedicinal chemistry, chemical biology, and drug discoveryMedical researchPublications are required to contain substantial AI and life science components. Clinical studies reporting routine diagnostic efforts hall outside the scope of AILSCI.Background: Artificial Intelligence originates from computer science and covers a wide range of approaches intended to enhance the ability of machines to make data-driven decisions and accurate predictions of events. In many scientific fields, AI is being increasingly considered and integrated, especially in the context of Big Data. Given their complexity and highly interdisciplinary nature, the life sciences provide ample opportunities for AI to impact R&D efforts in a variety of ways.Key words: Artificial Intelligence; Life Sciences; Drug Discovery; Bio- and Cheminformatics, Machine Learning; Machine Intelligence; Deep Learning; Data Mining; Big Data.
The International Peer-Reviewed Journal of Drug TherapyClinical Therapeutics provides peer-reviewed, rapid publication of recent developments in drug and other therapies as well as in diagnostics, pharmacoeconomics, health policy, treatment outcomes, and innovations in drug and biologics research. In addition Clinical Therapeutics features updates on specific topics collated by expert Topic Editors. Clinical Therapeutics is read by a large international audience of scientists and clinicians in a variety of research, academic, and clinical practice settings. Articles are indexed by all major biomedical abstracting databases.Published articles range from pivotal studies exploring new chemical entities in large, multicenter trials to those exploring repurposing of marketed agents. Additionally, pilot studies; reports that assess drug safety and tolera-bility in all phases of development; new routes of administration and new formulations; pharmacokinetic, bio-availability, and biosimilarity; and changes in practice guidelines and standards, are all of interest for publication. Clinical Therapeutics also understands the importance of strengthening the body of evidence surrounding particular agents through the publication of replication studies, negative trials, and failed trials.Beyond the clinic, we seek reports that examine the real-world implications of therapeutics such as comparative effectiveness and pharmacoeconomics studies as well as work that has implications for health policy. Commentaries, which include perspectives and contemporary issues, are sought to offer a balance of viewpoints and scholarly opinion on a broad array of drug-related topics. Case reports, which remain a vital part of our mission, offer clinically valuable lessons. All manuscripts are peer reviewed by independent clinicians or scientists for clinical relevance, technical accuracy, methodological rigor, clarity, and objectivity using a blind review process.In addition to feature articles published monthly, each issue of Clinical Therapeutics features a specific theme section dedicated to an annual update of a specific topic area. A special guest editor will comprise each update with reviews, commentaries, and original research highlighting what's new or controversial in the topical specialty. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts for consideration in the topic updates, identifying submissions as such in their cover letters. Submissions not selected for the updates will be considered for general publication. Submit your manuscript at https://www.editorialmanager.com/clinther.
An important reference for all pharmacology and toxicology departments, DMD is also a valuable resource for medicinal chemists involved in drug design and biochemists with an interest in drug metabolism, expression of drug metabolizing enzymes, and regulation of drug metabolism enzyme gene expression. Articles provide experimental results from in vitro and in vivo systems that bring you significant and original information on metabolism and disposition of endogenous and exogenous compounds, including pharmacologic agents and environmental chemicals.
Future Healthcare Journal (FHJ) is a peer-reviewed academic journal with a multidisciplinary editorial board stimulating debate about all aspects of future healthcare. Each issue has a theme featuring commissioned articles from national and international experts providing authoritative overviews as well as submitted papers. Themed issues are published online when collated but all accepted articles are available immediately for rapidity of referencing and citation. Articles feature digital health and artificial intelligence, illness prevention, multidisciplinary workforce planning, system re-engineering, population health, lifestyle medicine and therapeutic advances. The emphasis is on providing practical solutions to current healthcare challenges. It has strong involvement of trainees and encourages submissions on QI and audit rarely found in other journals. FHJ tackles contentious issues and aims to provide readers with the tools to facilitate transformational change at an individual and organisational level. Articles should be of interest and understandable to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and leaders who may be involved in making system changes in their own organisation.  While the journal is affiliated with the Royal College of Physicians (RCP), it has full editorial independence.From January 1, 2024, Future Healthcare Journal becomes a full gold open access journal freely available for everyone to access and read. All articles submitted after January 1, 2024, are subject to an article publishing charge (APC) after peer review and acceptance. We are pleased to inform you that Future Healthcare Journal waives the APC (Article Publishing Charge) for all submissions received before 31 December 2025, which are accepted for publication after peer review.
