Scope
Journal of Pharmacy Practice is a peer-reviewed journal that was established in 1988 and is published 6 times per year. The journal is read and cited both nationally and internationally. The objective of the editorial board of the JPP, as well as that of SAGE Publications, is to offer the practicing pharmacist topical, pertinent, and useful information to support pharmacy practice and medication therapy management, as well as to expand the pharmacist's professional horizons. JPP is presented in a focused single-topic, scholarly, peer-review format. Guest editors are selected for particular expertise in the subject area; they then recruit consulting editors and contributors from that practice or topic area and bring the information together in a relevant and timely fashion for the pharmacist audience.
The readership, like the pharmacy profession, is diverse and so are the topics covered in every issue. Since the walls between pharmacy practice sites remain distinct yet continue to blend in the continuum of care, each pharmacy practitioner needs to be primed on a wide variety of practice essentials, new advents, and future trends. By focusing on a single topic in each issue, the journal provides the reader with a thorough review of that topic written by experienced and accomplished practitioners. Practice issues, practice settings, therapeutics issues, disease management, research, government, legal, and regulatory issues are reviewed in a timely manner. Each issue contains a list of forthcoming topics.
We intend that the JPP will be of practical value to you. It has been used in daily practice as an informational reference and for teaching purposes; the focused, concise information provided saves time in literature review and provides a consolidated source of information and opinion for topics that affect the profession of pharmacy and the patients that pharmacists serve. Each issue will thoroughly review a topic, providing a validating experience for the reader who is familiar with the topic and new applicable knowledge for the reader who is not—validating for the expert, educating for the novice. Every effort has been made to ensure the correct usage of generic and trade names and to verify drug doses. The ultimate responsibility, however, lies with the practitioner.
