Scope

Pharmaceutics (ISSN 1999-4923) is an open access journal which provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, opinions, commentaries, and short notes. Covered topics include pharmaceutical formulation, process development, drug delivery, pharmacokinetics, biopharmaceutics, pharmacogenetics, and interdisciplinary research involving, but not limited to, engineering, biomedical sciences, and cell biology. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental results and theoretical assumptions in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. In addition, this journal presents the following unique features: Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed Computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedures can be deposited as supplementary material if it is not possible to published them in the Material and Methods section, as usual We also accept manuscripts addressed to a broader audience, regarding research projects financed by public funds.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
