Readership
The journal readership includes pharmacologists, pharmacognosist, medicinal chemists, molecular and cell biologists, immunologists, microbiologists, biochemists, biotechnologists and other related scholars. IJPT readers not only include academics but also a range of professionals including practicing professionals and medical companies and industries.

Peer Review Process
Editor-in-Chief makes an initial appraisal of each manuscript and if the topic and content seem potentially appropriate for the journal, the manuscript is assigned to a Section Editor who is a specialist on that topic. If the papers are not desk rejected, they are typically sent out to expert referees to be thoroughly reviewed. There are three main reasons for a paper to be ‘desk rejected’;
  • Papers that are out of the journal scope will be desk rejected even if such papers are good.
  • Papers that are in IJPT scope but do not meet the quality standards, like; novelty, intellectual depth, rigorous, and accepted language, style, or grammar, are also likely to be desk rejected.
  • Papers that report human or animal studies must state the corresponding research project code of ethics to commit that the appropriate ethical standards are being considered. Otherwise, the paper will be desk rejected, even if it is good and do address the journal scope.
IJPT has a "double blind" review process and the authors and the referees are not told who wrote or reviewed the papers. The section editors need at least two authoritative reviews for making a decision as to whether to accept, reject or ask for a minor/major revision of the reviewed manuscript. The overall recommendations that will be taken to account by the Editors include;
  • Accept
  • Minor Revisions
  • Major Revisions
  • Reject
The final decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief. No more than one major revision is allowed and the revised manuscript must be submitted in less than 3 months. Also, minor revisions must not take more than 2 weeks. The revisions that are not submitted during the expected periods will be eliminated and are considered as new submissions.  The peer review flowchart is presented in For Reviewers section.

Publication Charges
