Submission of a manuscript to International Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences Review and Research for
publication implies that the same work has not been either published or under consideration for publication in
another Journal. Authors, in their cover note to the Editor, have to clearly mention whether the manuscript
shall be considered as a Research Paper, case report or Review Article and also confirm that the manuscript
has not been submitted to any other Journal for publication. Authors publishing results from in vivo
experiments involving animals or humans should state whether due permission for conduction of these
experiments was obtained, from the relevant ethics committees, in the Materials and Methods section.
Peer Review Process
All manuscripts receive individual identification codes. The Editor in-chief (Managing Editor) then sends it to an
appropriate Editor. However a submission may be declined by the Managing Editor without review, if deemed
inappropriate for reasons other than scientific merit. The Editors are fully responsible for decisions about
manuscripts. The final decision whether to accept or reject a paper rests with them. The Editor in-chief
(Managing Editor) only communicates the final decision and informs the authors about further processing.
Revised manuscript submission
When revision of a manuscript is requested, authors should return the revised version of their manuscript as
soon as possible. Prompt action may ensure fast publication if a paper is finally accepted for publication.
Types of manuscripts
Research articles should present new experimental studies in elaborate form that constitute a significant
contribution to knowledge. Research articles should not exceed 15 pages.
Review articles should bring up the most important current topics or present interpretative and critical
accounts, but not simple compilation, on subjects of general interest. It should be long enough to cover up-todate information. All format requirements are same as those applicable to full papers. Review articles need not
be divided into sections such as Materials and Methods and Results and Discussion, but should definitely have
an Abstract and Introduction, if necessary. Review Papers should not exceed 25 pages.
Case reports: Case reports can be prepared with suitable introduction and case out puts in suitable formats.
