The Editors welcome articles in this multidisciplinary field, with a focus on topics relevant for drug discovery and drug development.More specifically, the European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences publishes reports on:drug absorption and metabolism,drug delivery including nucleic acid delivery,drug evaluation in the clinic,drug targeting,medicinal chemistry,personalis... and precision medicine,pharmaceuti... and biomedical analysis,pharmaceuti... biotechnology,pharma... technology and manufacturing,pharma... including translational pharmacology,physica... chemistry related to formulation, physical pharmacy and preformulation,regul... science.New chemical entities, new biological entities, prodrugs, peptides and new modalities such as antibody-drug-conjug... (ADCs), PROTACs, advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) including nucleic acid modalities (e.g., siRNA or mRNA), cell-based therapies are within the scope of the journal.Manuscripts describing new technical aspects such as new methods, new routes of synthesis, new formulation approaches, applied engineering, nanotechnology or the use of in silico tools for modelling and pharmaceutical data science are welcome.European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences publishes contributions dealing with relevant aspects of pediatrics, treatment of elderly patients e.g., impaired pharmacokinetics. Manuscripts covering rare diseases, are also within the scope of the journal.The journal will typically not give priority to manuscripts focusing exclusively on organic synthesis of bioactive small molecules and adaptation of analytical approaches, unless they prove to be of key importance in the drug discovery and development process. Topics or discussions pertaining to drug policy making do not have priority. In silico studies, such as molecular modelling, bulk scale modelling and virtual screening, unless reporting novel and broadly applicable methods, can be considered only if supported by experimental studies and verification of the pharmaceutical relevance of modelling results. Homeopathic medicines, phytochemical and pharmacological studies on plant extracts, traditional Chinese medicines and of isolated drug compounds of natural origin are not in the focus for European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences.Review articles, perspectives and scientific commentaries are generally by invitation or by consent of the Editors. Proceedings of scientific meetings may be published as special issues upon discussions with the Editor/Publisher.

Fitoterapia

ISSN: 0367-326X
5 Year impact factor: 2.7
Impact factor: 2.5

The Journal for the Study of Medicinal PlantsA Q1-ranked journal in the category of 'Agricultural and Biological Sciences' (Scopus).Fitoterapia is a Journal dedicated to medicinal plants and fungi and to the bioactive natural products produced by these organisms. It publishes original contributions in seven major areas:1. Chemical characterization of active ingredients of medicinal plants and fungi, including their endophytes 2. New analytical approaches for dereplication and standardization of biologically active extracts and metabolites from plant resources 3. Identification of bioactivity in plant and fungal extracts and in their constituents 4. Identification of biological targets and mechanism of activity of plant and fungal extracts 5. Production and genomic characterization of medicinal plants biomass 6. Biosynthesis of bioactive natural products of plant, fungi and endophytic origin 7. Critical reviews of the composition, history, clinical and legal status of medicinal plants, and accounts on topical issues.Contributions reporting the following are NOT normally considered for publication: 1. Activity data on crude extracts that have not been characterized by analysis of their major constituents (HPLC fingerprint, LC/MS or NMR). Data on the extract composition simply taken from the literature are not acceptable. Characterization of only a few constituents is generally considered too partial. 2. Studies on the bioactivity of pure compounds purchased or obtained by Authors without any study or relationship with the producing organism. 3. Unexceptional and predictable bioactivity (e.g. antioxidant properties of phenolics or antibacterial activity of essential oils). 4. Uncritical ethnopharmacological investigations, where a list of plants and their use are simply recorded. 5. Genomic, transcriptomic and pharmacological studies without convincing wet lab experiments, or with little correlation to bioactive natural compounds.In addition, the following immediate rejection criteria apply: RULE 1: The manuscript does not fall into any of the areas of interest of the Journal. RULE 2: The manuscript is too preliminary, reporting e.g. activity data without comparison to a reference, or without a positive control. RULE 3: The botanical source is not clearly identified, authenticated, and documented (voucher). RULE 4: Characterization of new compounds without spectral supporting material. RULE 5: Bioactivity is not relevant to in vivo situations. RULE 6: Reviews on topics already covered in the recent literature.

International Journal of Pharmaceutics

ISSN: 0378-5173
5 Year impact factor: 5.6
Impact factor: 5.3

The International Journal of Pharmaceutics is the third most cited journal in the "Pharmacy & Pharmacology" category out of 366 journals, being the true home for pharmaceutical scientists concerned with the physical, chemical and biological properties of devices and delivery systems for drugs, vaccines and biologicals, including their design, manufacture and evaluation. This includes evaluation of the properties of drugs, excipients such as surfactants and polymers and novel materials. The journal has special sections on pharmaceutical nanotechnology and personalized medicines, and publishes research papers, reviews, commentaries and letters to the editor as well as special issues.Editorial Policy The over-riding criteria for publication are originality, high scientific quality and interest to a multidisciplinary audience. Papers not sufficiently substantiated by experimental detail will not be published. Any technical queries will be referred back to the author, although the Editors reserve the right to make alterations in the text without altering the technical content. Manuscripts submitted under multiple authorship are reviewed on the assumption that all listed authors concur with the submission and that a copy of the final manuscript has been approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities in the laboratories where the work was carried out. If accepted, the manuscript shall not be published elsewhere in the same form, in either the same or another language, without the consent of the Editors and Publisher.Authors must state in a covering letter when submitting papers for publication the novelty embodied in their work or in the approach taken in their research. Routine bioequivalence studies are unlikely to find favour. No paper will be published which does not disclose fully the nature of the formulation used or details of materials which are key to the performance of a product, drug or excipient. Work which is predictable in outcome, for example the inclusion of another drug in a cyclodextrin to yield enhanced dissolution, will not be published unless it provides new insight into fundamental principles.
