Letter from the Editor-in-Chief
Two decades ago after the PhD , it was my great pleasure submitting one of my early articles to the Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal (ISI indexed) as the Editor-in-Chief –at that time- was one of my significant professors, being the top of my class, I had great expectations. Unfortunately, the paper was not accepted and so the first lesson learned: it is not only the quality of the research, but also the originality and of interest to the audience!
This is a call for all colleagues working in the pharmaceutical sciences fields to select Jordan Journal of pharmaceutical Sciences (JJPS) as a good choice for their publications. JJPS is a SCOPUS (Q3) indexed journal working hard forward being one of the Clarivate analytics (web of science) journals soon.
Going through the previous issues of the JJPS gives the reader a perception of purely chemical, technical, and pharmacological specialized submissions, in which the new editorial board encourages all researchers as well as post graduate students to submit their work in all pharmaceutical sciences' fields including pharmaceutical/medicinal chemistry and microbiology, biotechnology and industrial pharmacy, instrumental analysis, phytochemistry, clinical pharmacy and pharmaceutical care, and also JJPS is welcoming submissions in pharmaceutical business domain such as PharmacoEconomics, Pharmaceutical Marketing, and Management. Intellectual property rights for pharmaceuticals, regulations and legislations are also interesting topics welcomed from our colleagues in Schools of Law.
JJPS will have a new start this Jan 2020 in which the new editorial board agreed to publish four issues per year with up to ten articles per issue. Hence, researchers will be able to publish their work as fast as possible. Furthermore, there will be special issues for some well recognized local conferences and scientific gatherings in the field of pharmacy in order to encourage local scientists and their students.
Finally, it really is a great honor to be the new Editor-in-Chief for JJPS. We are keen on continuity of the distinguished work of my previous colleagues since 2006, ensuring the same quality of work where each submitted article will be reviewed blindly by at least 2 reviewers in order to have an objective decision in this regard, concentrating more on scheduling time for each review with no delay. One last point worth mentioning that this issue is the first with our electronic ISSN number; a step forward for a complete electronic process in the future.
