Editorial policy International Journal of Pharmacy Research & Technology (IJPRT) is committed to the timely publication of peer-reviewed articles in journals. IJPR requires all authors to comply fully with current ethical standards for publication in their disciplines. Manuscripts submitted to the journal must represent reports of original research, and the original data must be available for review by the editor if necessary. All authors of a manuscript must have agreed to its submission and are responsible for its content, including appropriate citations and acknowledgments, and must also have agreed that the corresponding author has the authority to act on their behalf in all matters pertaining to publication of the manuscript. By submission of a manuscript to the journal, the authors guarantee that they have the authority to publish the work and that the manuscript, or one with substantially the same content, was not published previously, and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. When submitting papers for publication, it is expected that the authors will provide written assurance and describe the novelty of their work or in the approach taken in their research in a covering letter. Apart from any fair dealing for the purpose of research or personal study, or any critical suggestion or review, no part of the publication can be reproduced, stored, or transmitted, in any form or by any means without prior permission of the editor, IJPR. IJPR and /or its publisher /or editorial members cannot be held responsible for any error or for any consequences arising from the use of the information contained in this journal.

It will be illegal to acquire copies of IJPR journal from other sources; one cannot resale or gives away the copies of journal for the commercial or library purpose. The over-riding criteria for publication are originality, high scientific quality and interest to a multidisciplinary audience. Papers not sufficiently substantiated by experimental detail will not be published. Any technical queries will be referred back to the author, although the Editors reserve the right to make alterations in the text without altering the technical content. It is the responsibility of authors/ contributors to obtain permissions for reproducing any copyrighted material. A copy of the permission obtained must be submitted when required. IJPRT insists on ethical practices in both human and animal experimentation. Evidence for approval by a local Ethics Committee (for both human as well as animal studies) must be supplied by the authors on demand. Animal experimental procedures should be as humane as possible and the details of aesthetics and analgesics used should be clearly stated. The ethical standards of experiments must be in accordance with the guidelines provided by the CPCSEA (animal) and ICMR (human). The journal will not consider any paper which is ethically unacceptable. A statement on ethics committee permission and ethical practices must be included in all research articles under the ‘Materials and Methods’ section. Authors must be careful when they reproduce text, tables or illustrations from other sources. Plagiarism will be viewed seriously. All accepted papers are subject to editorial changes.

Abstract: A structured abstract not exceeding 250 words should be arranged. Avoid abbreviations and references, and do not include diagrams. The abstract with keywords should be typed on a separate sheet. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Keywords: Below the abstract, type 3-6 keywords or short phrases suitable for indexing. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Introduction: The introduction should not be an extensive literature review although it should provide sufficient background information for the reader to understand and evaluate the results of the present study without referring to previous publications on the same topic. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Materials and methods: The Methods section should only include information that was available at the time the study was planned or protocol written; all information obtained belongs to the results section. Mentioned model, make and name of manufacturer for each instrument used in the study. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Selection and Description of Participants: Describe your selection of the observational or experimental participants (patients or laboratory animals, including eligibility and exclusion criteria and a description of the source population. Because the relevance of such variables as age and sex to clear, authors should explain their use when they are included in a study report; for example, authors should explain why only subjects of certain were excluded. The guiding principle should be clarity about how and why a study was done in a particular way. When authors use variables such define how they measured the variables and justify their relevance. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Technical information: Identify the methods, apparatus (give the manufacturer's name and address in parentheses), and procedures in sufficient reproduce the results. Give references to established methods, including statistical methods; provide references and brief descriptions published but are not well known; describe new or substantially modified methods, give reasons for using them, and evaluate their limitations. Chemicals used, including generic name(s), dose(s), and route(s) of administration. Reports of randomized clinical trials should present information on all major study elements, including the protocol, assignment of interventions concealment of allocation to treatment groups, and the method of masking (blinding). |
||||||||||||||||||||
Ethics: When reporting studies on human, indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible (institutional or regional) and When reporting experiments on animals, indicate whether the institution’s or a national research national law on the care and use of laboratory animals was followed. Animal be as humane as possible and the details of anaesthetics and analgesics used should be clearly stated. The ethical standards of experiments must guidelines provided by the CPCSEA (animal) and ICMR (human). The journal will not consider any paper which is ethically unacceptable. A statement permission and ethical practices must be included in all research articles under the ‘Materials and Methods’ section. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Statistics: Whenever possible quantify findings and present them with appropriate indicators of measurement error or uncertainty (such as confidence intervals). (such as dropouts from a clinical trial). When data are summarized in the Results section, specify the statistical methods used to analyze them. Terms in statistics, such as 'random' (which implies a randomizing device), 'normal', 'significant', 'correlations', and 'sample'. Define statistical terms, Specify the computer software used. Use upper italics (P 0.048). For all P values include the exact value and not less than 0.05 or 0.001. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Results and Discussion: : Present your results in a logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustrations, giving the main or most important findings first. Do not repeat in illustrations; emphasize or summarize only important observations. Extra or supplementary materials and technical detail can be placed in an but will not interrupt the flow of the text; alternatively, it can be published only in the electronic version of the journal. When data are summarized in the Results section, give numeric results not only as derivatives (for example, percentages) but also as the absolute derivatives were calculated, and specify the statistical methods used to analyze them. Restrict tables and figures to those needed to explain the its support. Use graphs as an alternative to tables with many entries; do not duplicate data in graphs and tables. "Where scientifically appropriate, such as age and sex should be included. Include summary of key findings, Strengths (study question, study design, data collection, analysis and interpretation); what this study adds to the available evidence, effects on patient care and health Controversies raised by this study; and Future research directions. Do not repeat in detail data or other material given in the Introduction. In particular, contributors should avoid making statements costs unless their manuscript includes economic data and analyses. Avoid claiming priority and alluding to work that has not been completed. |
