Aim & Scope
Medicines do the most good, and the least harm, when they are chosen, dosed and monitored well. The Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Research (JCPR) publishes research on how medicines are used in practice and how that use can be improved.
We welcome work from hospital and community pharmacy, clinical pharmacology and pharmaceutical science, especially studies that change how patients are treated.

- Clinical pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical care

- Drug interactions and medication safety
- Antimicrobial stewardship
- Pharmacoeconomics and drug policy
- Pharmaceutics and drug formulation
- Community pharmacy and public health
