Types of Manuscripts
Publication submissions will typically fall into one of the following types of manuscripts:
ORIGINAL WORK includes articles submitted with information generated by the authors. Original work is typically unsolicited. Articles may describe innovative research, descriptions of clinical programs, case studies, adverse drug report(s), pharmacoeconomic evaluations or topics relating to utilization of medications.
REVIEW ARTICLES include manuscripts based on already published literature. Review articles may include disease state reviews, new medication updates, and reviews of other topics pertinent to pharmacy.
