Aims & Scope
Aims
SIGn Journal of Pharmacy aims to provide a scholarly platform for academics, researchers, pharmacists, practitioners, and professionals to examine contemporary issues in pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacy practice, develop theoretical, experimental, clinical, and applied knowledge, and contribute to the advancement of medicines, pharmaceutical technologies, medication use, and patient-centered pharmaceutical care at national, regional, and global levels.
The journal seeks to strengthen pharmaceutical scholarship in Indonesia while facilitating scholarly engagement with regional and global developments in drug discovery and development, pharmacology, pharmaceutical technology, clinical pharmacy, medication safety, biotechnology, natural products, pharmaceutical quality, regulatory science, and digital innovation. It welcomes manuscripts employing diverse experimental, analytical, computational, clinical, observational, qualitative, quantitative, and interdisciplinary methodologies, provided that they meet scientific standards and demonstrate a substantive contribution to pharmaceutical sciences or pharmacy practice.
SIGn Journal of Pharmacy publishes scientific articles in English to broaden access to readers and contributors worldwide. Editorial consideration is primarily based on the accuracy and reliability of the data and research results, the appropriateness of the experimental or research methodology, the rigor and coherence of the analysis, the relevance of the pharmaceutical issue examined, and the significance and originality of the contribution presented by the authors.

The journal particularly welcomes interdisciplinary research that connects pharmacology, chemistry, biology, biotechnology, clinical sciences, engineering, data science, health services, or related disciplines with the discovery, development, formulation, evaluation, regulation, use, safety, quality, or outcomes of medicines. Studies involving these related disciplines are welcomed when pharmaceutical substances, drug products, medication-use processes, pharmacy practice, or pharmaceutical systems constitute substantive components of the research problem, methodology, analysis, and scholarly contribution.
Manuscripts should demonstrate a clear relationship between the pharmaceutical problem or research question, theoretical or scientific foundation, methodology, materials, data or evidence examined, findings or analysis, and the scholarly or practical contribution claimed by the authors. Studies that are primarily concerned with general medicine, pure chemistry, general microbiology, biotechnology, engineering, or other disciplines without a substantive relationship to medicines, pharmaceutical products, pharmaceutical sciences, medication use, or pharmacy practice fall outside the journal’s principal scope and may be declined during the initial editorial screening.
