Pharmacy Education Guideline for Authors

Prior reading the guideline, please note that submitting your manuscript to Pharmacy Education does not imply or guarantee that it will be accepted for publication by the journal.

The authors are invited to submit their papers for consideration of publication in the Pharmacy Education Journal, a SCOPUS Q3 - indexed journal (WITH ADDITIONAL FEES) published by the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP).

Full paper submission is OPEN. Authors can submit their full paper by filling out the form and uploading an article which fits the guideline. Any discrepancy to the guideline may result in a rejection. Submission link: https://bit.ly/manuskripPITIAI2023

The authors are encouraged to use the journal template. The journal template can be found in here

The PIT IAI committee reserves the right to exclude a manuscript from being published in the journal, if the paper is not presented by the author at the PIT conference.

Please comply to the following matters:

  1. The committee only accepts a brief article (5-6 pages or maximum of 1,500 words excluding the title page, abstract, references, tables, and figure legends, but including the abbreviation list, acknowledgments, funding, disclosure statement, and author contributions). Please write concisely.
  2. The submission file for each manuscript is in Microsoft Word with two-column format.
  3. The structure of each manuscript is consistent. We would normally expect a structured format for each manuscript along the lines of Abstract; Introduction/background; Aim/objective; Methods used; results; principal discussion and conclusion(s).
  4. Style, statistical reporting, and reference citations should conform to the American Psychological Association's (APA) guidelines, from the APA Publication Manual, fifth edition. Where available, URLs for the references have been provided. (See Journal "Instructions for Authors" which is found in 'About the Journal' on our website). See more here: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples. References should include a DOI in the hyperlink format, when available: https://doi.org/10.1080/14622299050011431, not DOI: 10.1080/14622299050011431
  5. Avoid excessive referencing. It is encouraged that each article has a maximum of 20 references. Only papers that have been published or are in press may be cited; unpublished data and personal communications should not be included in the reference list but may be included in the text. Obtaining permission to quote personal communications and unpublished data from the cited author is the responsibility of the Author.
  6. The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in 'About the Journal' on our website (https://pharmacyeducation.fip.org/pharmacyeducation/about). We would expect no more than 4 Figures/charts and/or tables to be included per manuscript.
  7. The text should be written in the 3rd person and be scholarly, readable, clear, and concise. Standard nomenclature should be used. Unfamiliar terms and acronyms should be defined at first mention.
  8. Table should be listed as roman, i.e. Table I, II, III, etc. Figure should be listed as number, i.e. Figure 1,2,3. Put tables and figures in the separate page, not in the main text. Please indicate the tables and figures position in the main text.
  9. The Authors will have to obtain all necessary permissions that may pertain to the manuscript submitted.
  10. The Authors will have disclosed all/any potential and actual conflicts of interest contained within the manuscript. Where there is no potential or actual conflict of interest, this does not have to be stated (for brevity of overall abstract length) but this remains the responsibility of the Author.
  11. The journal takes publishing ethical concerns extremely seriously and follows the guidelines and best practice recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Hence, every manuscript is screened for plagiarism using specialised software. Therefore, authors are required to follow ethical guidelines on authorship attribution, conflicts of interest, adherence to moral principles when using experimental animals and human subjects, financial support disclosures, and involvement in the peer review procedure. Where human or animal subjects have been used, details of approval obtained from the ethics review committee must be included.
  12. Plagiarism, duplicate submissions, excessive and irrelevant self-citations, and instances of inaccurate or fraudulent data will also be grounds for rejection.
  13. The language quality of your manuscript is almost as important as the content. Therefore, it is mandatory that the authors seek suggestions from professional proofreaders to ensure that even the smallest error in your manuscript has been resolved. The authors will have to submit evidence that their manuscript has been checked by a professional proofreader.
