Innovations in smartphones, sensors, wearables, IoTs and the extent to which they will pervade our daily living and the impact this will have on society are all explored in the International Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications.

International Journal of Pest Management publishes original research papers and reviews concerned with pest management in the broad sense, covering the control of pests (invertebrates, vertebrates and weeds) and diseases of plants, fungi and their products – including biological control, varietal and cultural control, chemical control and interference methods. The management of invasive species is of special interest. We also encourage submissions dealing with interactions of multiple pests such as arthropods and plant pathogens, pathogens and weeds or weeds and arthropods as well as those dealing with the indirect and direct effects of climate change on sustainable agricultural practices. The journal covers the following scientific topics: Population dynamics of pests in relation to management strategies. Assessment of pest or weed and disease damage characteristics / levels and associated yield loss; damage and economic thresholds; sampling and monitoring methods. Pest management systems including decision support and risk analyses. Analysis of farmers’ perceptions of pest management constraints or technologies and of economic benefits supporting studies of the efficacy of pest management at field- and farm-scale. The relationship of pest management to the wider aspects of farming systems and rural development policy. Pre and post-harvest pest management. Novel pest management approaches, technology, methods and techniques Non-target effects of pesticide use / of biological control introductions. Life-history strategies and evolution of pest organisms / biological control agents. Plant defense mechanism in the context of pest management. Environmental sustainability in relation to pest management practices.

The International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Marketing (IJPHM) is positioned as a leading specialist reference resource of academic information and analysis on pharmaceutical and healthcare marketing.

The International Journal of Pharmaceutics is the journal for pharmaceutical scientists concerned with the physical, chemical and biological properties of devices and delivery systems for drugs, vaccines and biologicals, including their design, manufacture and evaluation. This includes evaluation of the properties of drugs, excipients such as surfactants and polymers and novel materials. The journal has special sections on pharmaceutical nanotechnology and personalized medicines, and publishes research papers, reviews, commentaries and letters to the editor as well as special issues.Editorial PolicyThe over-riding criteria for publication are originality, high scientific quality and interest to a multidisciplinary audience. Papers not sufficiently substantiated by experimental detail will not be published. Any technical queries will be referred back to the author, although the Editors reserve the right to make alterations in the text without altering the technical content. Manuscripts submitted under multiple authorship are reviewed on the assumption that all listed authors concur with the submission and that a copy of the final manuscript has been approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities in the laboratories where the work was carried out. If accepted, the manuscript shall not be published elsewhere in the same form, in either the same or another language, without the consent of the Editors and Publisher.Authors must state in a covering letter when submitting papers for publication the novelty embodied in their work or in the approach taken in their research. Routine bioequivalence studies are unlikely to find favour. No paper will be published which does not disclose fully the nature of the formulation used or details of materials which are key to the performance of a product, drug or excipient. Work which is predictable in outcome, for example the inclusion of another drug in a cyclodextrin to yield enhanced dissolution, will not be published unless it provides new insight into fundamental principles.

International Journal of Pharmaceutics: X offers authors with high-quality research who want to publish in a gold open access journal the opportunity to make their work immediately, permanently, and freely accessible.

International Journal of Pharmaceutics: X authors will pay an article publishing charge (APC), have a choice of license options, and retain copyright. Please check the APC here. As this title is newly launched, it does not have a CiteScore or Journal Impact Factor yet, however we will apply for inclusion in all the relevant indexing databases as soon as possible. The journal is indexed in SCOPUS, PUBMED, PMC and DOAJ.

International Journal of Pharmaceutics and International Journal of Pharmaceutics: X have the same aims and scope. A unified editorial team manages rigorous peer-review for both titles using the same submission system. The author's choice of journal is blinded to referees, ensuring the editorial process is identical.
