Der Pharmacia Sinica

Author Guidelines

Please read the following instructions carefully.

Policy

Article Processing Charges (APC):
Publishing with open access is not without costs. Der Pharmacia Sinica defrays those costs from article-processing charges (APCs) payable by authors once the manuscript has been accepted for publication. Ã¯Â»Â¿Der Pharmacia Sinica does not have subscription charges for its research content, believing instead that immediate, world-wide, barrier-free, open access to the full text of research articles is in the best interests of the scientific community.  

Average Article prorcessing time (APT) is 55 days

Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process):

Der Pharmacia Sinica is participating in the Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process) with an additional prepayment of $99 apart from the regular article processing fee. Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process is a special service for the article that enables it to get a faster response in the pre-review stage from the handling editor as well as a review from the reviewer. An author can get a faster response of pre-review maximum in 3 days since submission, and a review process by the reviewer maximum in 5 days, followed by revision/publication in 2 days. If the article gets notified for revision by the handling editor, then it will take another 5 days for external review by the previous reviewer or alternative reviewer.

Acceptance of manuscripts is driven entirely by handling editorial team considerations and independent peer-review, ensuring the highest standards are maintained no matter the route to regular peer-reviewed publication or a fast editorial review process. The handling editor and the article contributor are responsible for adhering to scientific standards. The article FEE-Review process of $99 will not be refunded even if the article is rejected or withdrawn for publication.

The corresponding author or institution/organization is responsible for making the manuscript FEE-Review Process payment. The additional FEE-Review Process payment covers the fast review processing and quick editorial decisions, and regular article publication covers the preparation in various formats for online publication, securing full-text inclusion in a number of permanent archives like HTML, XML, and PDF, and feeding to different indexing agencies.

Title page

1.1. Title : The title should be relatively short but informative. 
1.2. Name(s) of author(s): A list of all authors of the paper should be prepared. It will contain full first name, initial(s) for middle name(s) and full last name.
1.3. Name and address of workplace(s): Authors’ affiliations should be indicated in this section. 
1.4. Personal e-mail address(es): At least one e-mail address is needed. It will be used as the corresponding author’s email address in all contacts with the authors.

2. Abstract

An abstract must accompany every article. It should be a brief summary of the significant items of the main paper. It should be informative and not only present the general scope of the paper but also indicate the main results and conclusions. An abstract should not normally exceed 250 words.

3. Keywords

List of all keywords proposed by the authors, separated by commas. Up to 5 key terms can be selected. We would suggest avoid repeating the title.

4. Introduction

Present the subject of paper clearly, indicate the scope of the subject, and present the goals of paper, novelty of research work and finally the organization of paper.

5. Materials and Methods

Animals and chemicals should be described in the first two paragraphs. The permission from animal ethical committee should be mentioned. The source of chemicals and drugs may be given, if necessary. The basis of dosage calculation (free form or salt used) should be indicated. Sex, strain and approximate weight of animals should be given (e.g.: “Male Wistar rats; 100–230 g...?) and housing and feeding conditions briefly described. Dosage schedules need not be mentioned in “Materials and Methods? if easily seen from graphs or tables. The route of administration (po, iv, ip, icv), solvent etc. should be indicated. Newly introduced techniques should be described in detail to allow easy repetition. Any modification should be mentioned briefly, with proper references. Techniques which have been previously described should be mentioned in brief only, with proper references, unless they were published in sources that are not easily accessible.
Experimental Part: It should be written in sufficient detail to enable others to repeat the authors’ work. 
Computational Part: In theoretical papers, technical details such as the computational methods, and models applied or newly developed models should be presented in an appropriately named section. Sufficient detail should be provided to enable readers to reproduce the calculations.

6. Results and Discussion

It may be combined or kept separate and may be further divided into subsections. This section should not contain technical details. Abbreviations and acronyms should be used sparingly and consistently. Where they first appear in the text, they should be defined; authors may also explain large numbers of abbreviations and acronyms in a footnote on the first page.

7. Conclusion

It should be representing the summary of the important findings.

Acknowledgements
Information concerning research grant support should appear in a separate Acknowledgements section at the end of the paper, not in a footnote.

Tables
Authors should use tables only to achieve concise presentation or where the information cannot be given satisfactorily in other ways. Tables should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and should be in the text itself at appropriate place not at the end or as separate attachment. Each table should have an explanatory caption which should be as concise as possible.
