Journals in Clinical trials
Journals in Clinical trials
Supporting researchers, clinicians, and regulatory professionals, this portfolio emphasizes trial design, ethical considerations, and statistical analysis. It features innovations in trial methodology, real-world evidence, and regulatory compliance that accelerate drug development and facilitate evidence-based healthcare advancements.
Contemporary Clinical Trials
Contemporary Clinical Trials is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes manuscripts pertaining to all aspects of clinical trials, including, but not limited to, design, conduct, analysis, regulation and ethics. Manuscripts submitted should appeal to a readership drawn from disciplines including medicine, biostatistics, epidemiology, computer science, management science, behavioural science, pharmaceutical science, and bioethics. Full-length papers not exceeding 4,000 words, short communications not exceeding 1,500 words, as well as systemic reviews of clinical trials and methodologies will be published. Perspectives/comment... on current issues and the impact of clinical trials on the practice of medicine and health policy are also welcome.The following topics are covered in the journal:Unconvention... design features of specific trials and their rationalePreliminary or full results of clinical trials with unconventional design featuresStatistical methods for all aspects of clinical trialsMethodologies for clinical trial operations including trial management and optimization; patient recruitment and retention; and trial quality monitoring and assessmentData management methodologies including data collection; database maintenance; data quality assurance; safety monitoring and risk management; and patient registriesRegulatory requirements and their impact on clinical trialsEthical and legal considerations in clinical trialsRisk-benefit, cost-effectiveness and decision analyses in clinical trialsContemporary Clinical Trials is unique in that it is outside the confines of disease specifications, and it strives to adapt and grow with an expanding clinical trials landscape as the needs of clinical research evolve in today's dynamic healthcare environment.Having taken upon the important role as a platform for knowledge exchange between experts in different disciplines related to clinical trials, the ultimate goal of Contemporary Clinical Trials is to advance this field of research for the benefit of patients.Authors are also welcome to submit to the journal's open access companion title, Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications.- ISSN: 1551-7144
Clinical Therapeutics
Clinical Therapeutics provides peer-reviewed, rapid publication of recent developments in drugs, biologicals, and other therapies as well as in diagnostics, pharmacoeconomics, health policy, treatment outcomes, and innovations in drug and biologics research and development. In addition, Clinical Therapeutics features updates on specific topics collated by expert Topic Editors and Guest 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 study reports that assess drug safety and tolerability in all phases of development, new routes of drug administration and formulations, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, bioavailability, and biosimilarity and changes in practice guidelines, standards, policies and regulations are all of interest for publication. Clinical Therapeutics also understands the importance of strengthening the body of publicly accessible evidence surrounding particular agents through the publication of replication studies, negative trials, and failed trials.Beyond therapeutic clinical applications, 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, Clinical Therapeutics regularly 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.

Authors intending to submit the following types of studies should seek pre-submission approval by contacting the journal office at [email protected]... with a brief description of the proposed manuscript for editorial evaluation:Adverse event studies based on the FAERS database. Submissions must clearly articulate the novel contribution of the study and how it advances the existing literature. This justification should also be included in the cover letter.Drug–drug interaction studies.
