Pharmacy: Journals

Journal of Pharmaceutical Policy and Practice

Journal of Pharmaceutical Policy and Practice (formerly known as Southern Med Review) provides a platform for researchers to disseminate empirical research findings with the aim that people everywhere have access to the medicines they need and be able to use them rationally. The journal encompasses all aspects of pharmacy including clinical, social, administration, and economics. It also covers pharmaceutical aspects of healthcare policy. (Provided by Publisher.)

 International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy

Widely recognized journal of the International Collaboration of Pharmacy Journal Editors (ICPJE) in comportment with the Granada Statements, International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed content in health services research specifically as it relates to some aspect of the medication use process. The medication use process includes but is not limited to the prescribing, preparation, dispensing, administration, adherence to, evaluation, monitoring, and outcomes associated with legend or with over-the-counter medications, incorporating the concept of clinical pharmacy which aims to optimize utilization of medicines to achieve person-centered and public health goals. The medication use process includes attitudes, perspectives, knowledge, and behaviors of any actor in this process, including prescribers, pharmacists, pharmacy personnel, other health practitioners, patients, and caregivers. As such, the Granada Group journals often refer to “pharmacy” in their title or description, as these persons are central to medication use process; however, research articles reviews, and commentaries can refer to any person involved in this process, as well as any evaluation (e.g., pharmaceoepidemiological) of the drug products themselves or systems employed to optimize the use process (Provided by Publisher).

International Journal of Pharmacy Practice

The International Journal of Pharmacy Practice (IJPP) is a Medline-indexed, peer-reviewed, international journal publishing innovative research at the intersection of pharmacy, medicines, and healthcare. It is a great source for creating evidence-based policy and informing practice for all healthcare professionals and policymakers.

IJPP is a multidisciplinary journal reflecting the increasingly collaborative approach in the delivery of healthcare. Topics include (but are not limited to):

• Safe and effective medicine use: e.g., medication adherence; polypharmacy; deprescribing; pharmacoepidemiology; pharmacovigilance, drug safety; antimicrobial stewardship; advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs).
• Health promotion and public health: e.g., cardiovascular disease, mental health; smoking cessation, healthy eating and exercise; reproductive/sexual health and HIV; substance use; vaccination; pharmacy disaster planning.
• Education: e.g., pharmacy education, training, and workforce development; health education relevant to medicines.
• Emerging areas: e.g., stratified medicine and pharmacogenomics; digital health and big data; skill mix and service redesign; new technologies; telepharmacy, and automation.
• Clinical management of long-term illnesses including behavioural approaches: e.g.  asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, mental health and age-related conditions.
• Methodological articles developing new approaches or drawing on other disciplines e.g., anthropology, health economics, psychology, sociology, statistics.

Methods include both evaluative and exploratory work including: structured reviews of the literature such as systematic or scoping reviews; randomised controlled trials, controlled trials, before and after studies, observational studies; intervention development including feasibility studies; epidemiological approaches, surveys, case studies, simulated client studies; interviews and focus groups (Provided by Publisher).
