European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics
Official Journal of the International Association for Pharmaceutical TechnologyThe European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics provides a medium for the publication of novel, innovative and hypothesis-driven research from the areas of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics.Top... covered include for example:Design and development of drug delivery systems for pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals (small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids)Aspects of manufacturing process designBiomedical aspects of drug product designStrategies and formulations for controlled drug transport across biological barriersPhysicochemi... aspects of drug product developmentNovel excipients for drug product designDrug delivery and controlled release systems for systemic and local applicationsNanomate... for therapeutic and diagnostic purposesAdvanced therapy medicinal productsMedical devices supporting a distinct pharmacological effect"The Rules of 3"The Editors and Editorial board have developed the "Rules of 3". Authors must consider the following three criteria before they submit a manuscript and set the whole process of editing and reviewing at work: 1. The paper must report on novel findings that are not merely an unprecedented combination of known aspects in pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics of major importance. 2. A paper must be based on a thorough and extensive study, using established or well-described methods and including proper controls. Research must be hypothesis-driven and conclusions must be supported by the data presented. 3. The study described in the manuscript must not merely confirm the state of the art in the field of pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics, but advance it.

Journal of Controlled Release
The Journal of Controlled Release (JCR) is the Official Journal of the Controlled Release Society, and of the Japan Society of Drug Delivery System.It publishes high-quality research articles in the broad field of delivery science and technology. This includes drug delivery systems and all aspects of formulations, such as physicochemical and biological properties of drugs, design and characterization of dosage forms, release mechanisms, in vivo testing, and formulation research and development in the disciplines of pharmaceutical, diagnostic, agricultural, environmental, cosmetic, and food industries.Manuscrip... that advance fundamental understanding of principles and/or demonstrate advantages of novel technologies in safety and efficacy over current clinical standards will be given priority.

Fitoterapia
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.
