Article types
The IJPR considers a broad range of manuscript types that contribute to scientific knowledge, critical analysis, and scholarly discourse in the field. Submissions must demonstrate scientific rigor, methodological soundness, and relevance to the journal’s scope.
The following categories of manuscripts are accepted:
- Original Research Articles
- Full-length reports of original experimental or theoretical research that provide significant and novel findings in pharmaceutical sciences. Manuscripts should present clearly defined objectives, robust methodology, and comprehensive analysis of results.
- Review Articles
- Comprehensive and critical evaluations of existing literature in specific areas of pharmaceutical sciences. Reviews should provide insightful analysis, identify gaps in current knowledge, and propose future research directions.
- Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
- Studies that employ structured and transparent methodologies to systematically collect, evaluate, and synthesize existing research findings. Meta-analyses should include appropriate statistical techniques to combine data from multiple studies.
- Letters to the Editor
- Scholarly communications that discuss, critique, or provide additional insights into articles previously published in the journal. Letters should be concise, evidence-based, and contribute constructively to academic discussion.
General Submission Considerations
All submitted manuscripts must be original, not previously published, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Submissions are subject to a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the quality, validity, and relevance of the published content.
