Scope of Journal

The International Journal of Drug Development & Research is a quarterly publish Journal, which publishes original, research work that contributes significantly to further the scientific knowledge in pharmaceutical sciences.

Guidelines

International Journal of Drug Development & Research is a multidisciplinary open access peer-reviewed pharmacy journal, publishes the results of original scientific research and reviews in all fields of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Article Processing Charges (APC):

Publishing with open access is not without costs. IJDDR defrays those costs from article-processing charges (APCs) payable by authors once the manuscript has been accepted for publication. IJDDR 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.

The basic article processing fee or manuscript handling cost is as per the price mentioned above on the other hand it may vary based on the extensive editing, colored effects, complex equations, extra elongation of no. of pages of the article, etc.

Average Article prorcessing time (APT) is 55 days

Types of manuscript

Original Research papers should contain unpublished results of original research, which must be presented in sufficient detail to ensure the reproducibility of the described experiments and should present new experimental studies in elaborate form that constitute a significant contribution to knowledge.

Review articles are concise and critical surveys of novel accomplishments in the author's research field and should bring up the most important current topics or present interpretative and critical accounts, but not simple compilation, on subjects of general interest. The work need not be complete; however, supporting experimental data must be described. They should be around 15 pages.

Case Reports are the critical surveys of any complication performed in any region, area or demography to study and focus the causes and exclusion of complication.

Review Process

IJDDR follows single blind review process to check the authenticity of submitted papers. All Manuscripts submitted to the journal should be immediately sent to the peer-review to the reviewers and a manuscript number should be assign for the future correspondence. After receiving the reviewers report/ comments, the report will be communicated to the authors for possible corrections if any. After correction authors will be directed to submit revised manuscript within the time limit. After the submission of revised manuscript, it will be sent for re-review to the reviewers and the final proof as recommended by reviewers, will be communicated to the authors followed by the publication in respective/upcoming issues.

Single Blind Review

The names of the reviewers are hidden from the author. This is the traditional method of reviewing and is, by far, the most common type.

Advantage

Reviewer anonymity allows for impartial decisions free from influence by the author.

Breach of Journalistic Ethics: Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a serious issue around the world in the arena of manuscript writing. No doubt that, plagiarism brings academic dishonesty to the author(s) as well as the journal concern. Plagiarism means "Use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work." This has been noticed by the editorial team of IJDDR that, authors are simply copying scientific data and information from the other published papers, which is an awful practice in academic fraternity. Therefore I request to the all our author(s) please adopt the holistic & pragmatic approach to design the manuscript of interest. Hence IJDDR will not be responsible for further action on Plagiarism issue. The author will be solely responsible for plagiarism issue.
