Call for Papers
The Journal of Pharmaceutical Innovation is an international scientific peer-reviewed journal intended for the publication of research and review manuscripts. Its content will emphasize new and innovative methods and techniques used by pharmaceutical professionals serving all aspects of the industry including manufacturing, applied pharmaceutical science and technology in process and product understanding and control.

The Editors seek original manuscripts for publication, in any of the following categories:

Perspectives are opinion articles on controversial topics or recent developments in the industry, strategic industry issues, new areas of research, profiles of new research organizations or industry trends.

Case Studies provide a critical analysis of the implementation of a new method or technology.

Research Letters are short papers reporting results that are of genuine broad interest, but that do not make a sufficiently complete story to justify publication as a full research article.

Research Articles describe, in detail, new and innovative methods and techniques, with conclusions that are supported by adequate evidence. Scientific rigour and reproducible results are required.

Reviews may address both the recent scientific advances in drug development, pharmaceutical engineering, and manufacturing, as well as the management, commercial and regulatory issues that increasingly play a part in how R&D is planned and performed.
