2 Submission of a manuscript to International Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences Review and Research for publication implies that the same work has not been either published or under consideration for publication in another Journal. Authors, in their cover note to the Editor, have to clearly mention whether the manuscript shall be considered as a Research Paper, case report or Review Article and also confirm that the manuscript has not been submitted to any other Journal for publication. Authors publishing results from in vivo experiments involving animals or humans should state whether due permission for conduction of these experiments was obtained, from the relevant ethics committees, in the Materials and Methods section. Peer Review Process All manuscripts receive individual identification codes. The Editor in-chief (Managing Editor) then sends it to an appropriate Editor. However a submission may be declined by the Managing Editor without review, if deemed inappropriate for reasons other than scientific merit. The Editors are fully responsible for decisions about manuscripts. The final decision whether to accept or reject a paper rests with them. The Editor in-chief (Managing Editor) only communicates the final decision and informs the authors about further processing. Revised manuscript submission When revision of a manuscript is requested, authors should return the revised version of their manuscript as soon as possible. Prompt action may ensure fast publication if a paper is finally accepted for publication. Types of manuscripts Research articles should present new experimental studies in elaborate form that constitute a significant contribution to knowledge. Research articles should not exceed 15 pages.
