Aims and Scope

The National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology (NJPPP) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to the publication and dissemination of high-quality scholarly research in physiology, pharmacy, and pharmacology. The journal provides an international forum for researchers, academics, healthcare professionals, educators, and other relevant specialists to communicate original findings, critical analyses, and scholarly perspectives that advance knowledge and practice in these interconnected disciplines.

NJPPP welcomes scientifically rigorous research addressing fundamental mechanisms, applied and translational investigations, clinical studies, pharmaceutical sciences, drug development and evaluation, pharmacy practice, and education relevant to physiology, pharmacy, and pharmacology.

Aims

NJPPP aims to:

• Disseminate original and scientifically rigorous research that advances understanding in physiology, pharmacy, pharmacology, and related biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences.

• Promote the communication of experimental, translational, and clinical research with potential relevance to scientific knowledge, healthcare, pharmaceutical practice, and patient or animal health.

• Provide an international platform for multidisciplinary research and scholarly exchange among scientists, academics, healthcare professionals, educators, and practitioners.

• Encourage research that improves understanding of physiological mechanisms, pharmacological actions, therapeutic interventions, pharmaceutical sciences, and the safe and effective use of medicines.

• Support the dissemination of evidence that contributes to education, professional practice, research development, and improvements in healthcare.

• Facilitate responsible international knowledge exchange across different scientific and healthcare settings.

Scope

NJPPP considers manuscripts covering a broad range of topics within physiology, pharmacy, and pharmacology, including but not limited to the following areas:

Physiology

• Clinical and Experimental Physiology

• Cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, reproductive, and neurophysiology

• Neurophysiology and behavioral physiology

• Exercise and environmental physiology

• Cellular, molecular, and integrative physiology

• Pathophysiology and mechanisms of disease where there is a clear physiological focus

• Comparative and animal physiology where relevant to the journal's scientific scope

• Medical and Health Sciences Education in Physiology

Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

• Pharmacy Practice and Social Pharmacy

• Clinical pharmacy and pharmaceutical care

• Hospital and community pharmacy practice

• Pharmacotherapy and medication-use research

• Pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacoeconomics

• Pharmaceutical technology and formulation sciences

• Drug delivery and pharmaceutical development

• Pharmaceutical analysis and quality control

• Pharmacognosy and natural products relevant to pharmaceutical sciences

• Drug stability, quality, safety, and regulatory sciences

• Pharmacy Education

• Pharmaceutical policy and appropriate aspects of pharmaceutical marketing and medicine-use behavior

Pharmacology

• Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology

• Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

• Molecular and cellular pharmacology

• Neuropharmacology, cardiovascular pharmacology, and other organ-system pharmacology

• Toxicology and drug safety

• Drug interactions and adverse drug reactions

• Drug discovery and development

• Preclinical and translational pharmacology

• Clinical trials and drug evaluation

• Pharmacogenomics and personalized pharmacology

• Rational and evidence-based use of medicines

• Medical and Health Sciences Education in Pharmacology

Interdisciplinary and Translational Research

NJPPP also welcomes interdisciplinary studies that meaningfully connect physiology, pharmacy, and pharmacology with related biomedical, clinical, pharmaceutical, or health sciences. Studies involving human or animal subjects may be considered when they have a clear and substantive connection to the journal's core areas and meet applicable ethical and research standards.

The suitability of a manuscript for publication is determined by its scientific quality, originality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, and relevance to the journal's aims and scope, rather than by article type alone.

Out-of-Scope Submissions

Manuscripts that do not have a substantive connection to physiology, pharmacy, pharmacology, or an appropriately related interdisciplinary area may be considered outside the scope of NJPPP.

Studies whose primary focus lies entirely outside these fields, without a meaningful physiological, pharmaceutical, pharmacological, clinical, or educational connection, are unlikely to be considered for publication.

International and Multidisciplinary Perspective

NJPPP welcomes contributions from researchers and institutions worldwide. The journal supports the exchange of scientific knowledge across geographic regions and encourages research that addresses both local and global health and scientific challenges.

Through its multidisciplinary scope, NJPPP seeks to strengthen connections between fundamental science, pharmaceutical research, clinical practice, education, and translational research, thereby contributing to the advancement of physiology, pharmacy, and pharmacology.
