Journal of Pharmacy and Halal Studies (JPHS) publishes double-blind, peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly works that advance pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacy practice, and halal assurance across the full life cycle of medicines and pharmaceutical products spanning discovery, development, manufacturing, quality control, distribution, and patient use.

Focus

JPHS prioritizes manuscripts that:

• Advance pharmaceutical innovation (drug discovery, development, analytical methods, and drug delivery systems), including contributions derived from natural products and synthetic compounds.
• Strengthen pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical care, emphasizing rational use, safety, effectiveness, and (where relevant) cost-effectiveness to improve patient outcomes.
• Develop and validate quality-by-design and robust quality assurance approaches (e.g., stability, validation, method development/validation) supporting consistent product quality.
• Integrate halal perspectives into pharmaceutical science and practice, including halal compliance of materials, processes, and supply chains, supported by appropriate analytical and quality assurance strategies.
• Promote interdisciplinary, application-oriented research aligned with internationally recognized pharmaceutical research themes such as clinical/community pharmacy, pharmaceutical chemistry/technology, and natural product pharmacy.

Scope

JPHS welcomes original research articles and review papers within (but not limited to) the following areas:

• Pharmacology and Toxicology
• Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry
• Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Technology
• Pharmaceutical Analysis and Medicinal Chemistry
• Pharmaceutical Microbiology and Biotechnology
• Natural Product Development
• Clinical and Community Pharmacy
• Pharmaceutical Biology
• Pharmacochemistry
• Biopharmaceutics
• Traditional Medicine and Herbal Studies
• Halal Medicine and Pharmaceuticals

JPHS particularly encourages submissions that bridge pharmaceutical rigor with halal assurance such as research on halal-compliant formulation and processing, verification/analytical approaches for halal-related quality attributes, and pharmaceutical supply-chain integrity while maintaining strong methodological.
