The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research, modeling and clinical studies across all therapeutic areas. Patient satisfaction, acceptability, quality of life, compliance, persistence and their role in developing new therapeutic modalities and compounds to optimize clinical outcomes for existing disease states are major areas of interest for the journal. Journal Impact Factor: 1.333 This journal is a member of and subscribes to the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Indexed online: PubMed (Patient Prefer Adherence) Science Citation Index Expanded (also known as SciSearch®) Current Contents® EMBase Nursing Scopus Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) OAIster: The Open Access Initiative ResearchGATE scientific network Instructions to Authors Preparation of Manuscript Include: Forename(s) and surnames of authors (see Authorship section below) Author affiliations: department, institution, city, state, country Abstract 300 words 3–6 keywords Running header (shortened title) Corresponding author: name, physical address, phone, fax, email Double-spacing 3-cm margins Page numbers Clear concise language American spelling Ensure tables and figures are cited  The preferred electronic format for text is Microsoft Word Manuscripts will be accepted in LaTeX as long as the native LaTeX and a PDF is also supplied Use International Systems of Units (SI) symbols and recognized abbreviations for units of measurement Do not punctuate abbreviations eg, et al, ie Spell out acronyms in the first instance in the abstract and paper Word counts are not specified. In general, shorter items range from 1000 to 3000 words and reviews from 3000 to 7,500 Generic drug names are used in text, tables, and figures Suppliers of drugs, equipment, and other brand-name material are credited in parentheses (company, name, city, state, country) If molecular sequences are used, provide a statement that the data have been deposited in a publicly accessible database, eg, GenBank, and indicate the database accession number. While the editors fully understand the extra challenges posed to authors whose native language is not English, we must ask that all manuscripts be reviewed and edited by a native speaker of English with expertise in that area prior to submission. Authorship Authorship credit should be based on: 1) Substantial contributions to conception and design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) Drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content;  3) Final approval of the version to be published; and 4) Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved. Authors should meet conditions 1, 2, 3, and 4. When a large, multicenter group has conducted the work, the group should identify the individuals who accept direct responsibility for the manuscript (3). These individuals should fully meet the criteria for authorship/contributorship defined above, and editors will ask these individuals to complete journal-specific author and conflict-of-interest disclosure forms. When submitting a manuscript authored by a group, the corresponding author should clearly indicate the preferred citation and identify all individual authors as well as the group name. Journals generally list other members of the group in the Acknowledgments. The NLM indexes the group name and the names of individuals the group has identified as being directly responsible for the manuscript; it also lists the names of collaborators if they are listed in Acknowledgments. Acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of the research group alone does not constitute authorship. All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship, and all those who qualify should be listed. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content. Increasingly, authorship of multicenter trials is attributed to a group. All members of the group who are named as authors should fully meet the above criteria for authorship/contributorship. The group should jointly make decisions about contributors/authors before submitting the manuscript for publication. The corresponding author/guarantor should be prepared to explain the presence and order of these individuals. It is not the role of editors to make authorship/contributorship decisions or to arbitrate conflicts related to authorship. Contributors Listed in Acknowledgments All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an acknowledgments section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, writing assistance, or a department chairperson who provided only general support. Authors should declare whether they had assistance with study design, data collection, data analysis, or manuscript preparation. If such assistance was available, the authors should disclose the identity of the individuals who provided this assistance and the entity that supported it in the published article. Financial and material support should also be acknowledged. Groups of persons who have contributed materially to the paper but whose contributions do not justify authorship may be listed under such headings as “clinical investigators” or “participating investigators,” and their function or contribution should be described—for example, “served as scientific advisors,” “critically reviewed the study proposal,” “collected data,” or “provided and cared for study patients.” Because readers may infer their endorsement of the data and conclusions, these persons must give written permission to be acknowledged.

Submission of Manuscript All manuscripts should be submitted via our website.   By doing so you agree to the terms and conditions of submission Keep a backup and hard copies of the material submitted Pre-submissions Authors are welcome to send an abstract or draft manuscript to obtain a view from the Editor about the suitability of their paper. Please email here and include which journal you are interested in submitting your manuscript to.
