The Journal of Basic and Clinical Pharmacy (JBCP) [p-ISSN : 0976-0105; e-ISSN :
0976-0113] provides articles related to pharmaceutical research and drug development
including Basic and Clinical Pharmacy. JBCP will also include articles related to
translational research and provides free online access.

|
SCOPE OF PUBLICATION
|
|
One of the main mottos of the Journal is to be a coherent media to bring together
scientists and academicians in Pharmaceutical Research to promote translational
synergy between Pharmaceutical Science, Clinical Medicine, and Public Health. JBCP
publishes original articles of the highest quality pertaining to Basic and Clinical
Pharmacy.

|
JBCP requires manuscripts to be submitted electronically by registering online or
by by e-mailing directly to the Editors-in-Chief. The e-mail ID of the Editors-in-Chief
is:

Abstract
|
|
The abstract may not exceed 250 words and should state the rationale, objectives,
findings, and conclusions of the manuscript. The abstract, like the title, should
be written for the journal's general readership. Nonstandard abbreviations, references,
and primary data should not be presented in abstracts. For publication, JBCP reserves
the right to re-word the abstract, with the final approval of the authors.
|
|
Body of Paper
|
|
Manuscripts should be double-spaced (including references, tables. Figure legends
may be single-spaced if needed to keep image and legend on same page). Number all
pages. Manuscripts average 6,500 words, including all legends and references; however,
JBCP does not enforce a strict word limit.
|
|
Introduction
|
|
Manuscript should provide complete background for the present study and should provide
a brief summary of the work at the end of the introduction.
|
|
Materials and Methods
|
|
Manuscript should provide detailed description of all the experimental methods including
the source of the chemicals and drugs. Identify drugs and chemicals by generic name
(wherever trademarks are mentioned, manufacturer name and city name should be provided).
Describe ethical guidelines followed (for human or animal studies); cite approval
of institutional human research review committee or animal welfare committee; describe
in detail hazardous procedures or chemicals involved, including precautions observed.
Furthermore, please outline statistical methods used.
|
|
Results
|
|
The results should be presented concisely. Tables and figures should be designed
to maximize the presentation and comprehension of the experimental data. Attention
should be paid to the matter of significant figures (usually, no more than six including
tables). The same data should not be presented in more than one figure or in both
a figure and a table. As a rule, interpretation of the results should be reserved
for the discussion section of a Research Article, but under some circumstances it
may be desirable to combine results and discussion in a single section.
|
|
Discussion
|
|
Purpose of the discussion is to interpret the results and relate them to the existing
knowledge in the field in as clear and brief fashion as possible. Information given
elsewhere in the manuscript should not be repeated in the discussion. Extensive
reviews of the literature should be avoided.

Authors of manuscripts involving clinical trials must provide full registration
of their clinical trial(s). A clinical trial is defined as any research project
that prospectively assigns human subjects to intervention and comparison groups
to study the cause-and-effect relationship between a medical intervention and a
health outcome. The trial must have at least one prospectively assigned concurrent
control or comparison group in order to trigger the requirement for registration.
