General Information
|
The Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences is published continuously by the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences of the University of São Paulo and covers the most recent advances in the field of Pharmaceutical Sciences and correlated areas. The Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences has its origin in 1939 with the publication of the "Anais de Farmácia e Odontologia da USP". In 1963, the Journal name changed to "Revista da Faculdade de Farmácia e Bioquímica da Universidade de São Paulo" and in 1970 the Journal was renamed again as "Revista de Farmácia e Bioquímica da Universidade de São Paulo". In 1999, the Journal was totally remodeled and renamed Revista Brasileira de Ciências Farmacêuticas/Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences. From 2009 on, celebrating 70 years of publishing, a new era started. The Journal adopted exclusively the English denomination and at present accepts only papers in English. In addition, in 2019 it moved to a continuous publishing model. All these changes aimed at increasing the national and international visibility of the Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and speeding the process of publication towards consolidating it as one of the main journals in Pharmaceutical Sciences. The abbreviation is Braz. J. Pharm. Sci., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips. |

Editorial Policy
|
Preprints The Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences recognizes the importance of new scientific mediums and enables readers and researchers to have faster access to recent research findings prior to its publication. Therefore, the journal welcomes manuscripts that have been deposited on non-commercial preprint servers. A preprint is a preliminary version of a scientific work that is publicly shared in online repositories before undergoing peer review and eventual publication in a scientific journal. It is a way to accelerate the process of scientific communication, enabling researchers to promptly share their findings with the academic community. Preprints can be found in public repositories such as bioRxiv and medRxiv, dedicated to biology and medicine publications, respectively. These repositories, maintained by non-profit organizations, provide free access to the public for reading and downloading purposes. To ensure transparency and integrity in handling preprints submitted to the Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutica Sciences, authors are encouraged to provide the following information: Preprint Identification: Authors must provide information about the preprint, including its title, authors, repository name where it was published, publication date and DOI. Relationship with the Submitted Work: Authors should clarify the connection between the preprint and the work submitted to the journal, for example, if the preprint is an earlier version or if it contains complementary information. Conflicts of Interest: Authors should disclose any conflicts of interest related to the preprint, such as funding from a company or institution with an interest in the work. Peer Review Process Manuscripts submitted to the Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences must conform to the journal's scope, undergo an initial plagiarism check by the author, and be accompanied by a plagiarism report certificate. Submissions are evaluated and, if compliant, reviewed by at least two anonymous reviewers that will evaluate the manuscript regarding novelty, scientific importance, organization, clarity, conciseness, analytical and critical skills, and adequate references. Based on these opinions, the Associate Editor makes a preliminary recommendation, which is forwarded to the Editor-in-Chief. The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision on the manuscript, which can be accepted, rejected, or returned for revisions. This decision is communicated to the authors. Authors receive feedback within approximately 60 days and, if revisions are needed, must submit a revised manuscript within 30 days. The authors must justify to the Editor in case additional time is needed to prepare the revised version. The revised text must be typed in black and highlighted in yellow and accompanied by a rebuttal letter discussing each point raised by the reviewers in a point-by-point manner. The rebuttal letter should also indicate the page and line number where each revision has been made. If the revised manuscript and rebuttal letter are not submitted within this timeframe, the manuscript will be withdrawn from the system. Revised manuscripts are reassessed, and the final decision on acceptance, rejection, or further revisions is based on this review and the editors' assessment. In line with open science principles, starting in 2024, accepted articles will be published along with the name of the editor responsible for handling and accepting the study. Editorial Process All manuscripts undergo an initial evaluation to check for the presence of all required attachments (such as figures and a signed copyright form) as well as the correct text format. If the manuscript meets these initial criteria, it is then reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief to assess the quality of the content and its alignment with the Journal’s scope and basic policies. Following this, the manuscript is subjected to a single-blind peer review process. Based on the feedback from this review, the Editor-in-Chief makes a decision regarding the need for a second review, and determines whether the manuscript should be accepted, revised (requiring major or minor revisions), or rejected." Open Data In line with the principles of Open Science to enhance transparency and verifiability, the Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences encourages the sharing of data, codes, methods, and other materials that are used in and result from the research published in the Journal. Starting in 2024, research data from manuscripts accepted for publication should be deposited in the SciELO Data repository, which is currently being developed. This includes all forms of data that support the research findings, such as raw and processed data, audio and video files, code, software, algorithms, protocols, and methods. This practice is encouraged to facilitate data verification and reuse, thereby increasing the credibility and impact of the research published. Ethics and Misconduct Policy, Errata, and Retraction The Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences adheres to the publication ethics principles outlined in the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) code of conduct. The Editorial Body will assess and address ethical issues and/or issues that may harm the Journal's reputation. In cases of misconduct, the Journal will apply the retraction policy in accordance with the Best Practice Guide proposed by SciELO. The registration and publication of errata will follow the recommendations proposed by SciELO. Policy on Conflict of Interest We understand that transparency about competing interests is essential to make the best editorial decisions and to maintain the trust of our readers. Therefore, all participants in the publication process—authors, reviewers, and editors - must declare any potential sources of conflicts of interest. A conflict of interest, often referred to as a competing interest, is any financial, personal, religious, political, or other affiliations or relationships that may influence or could be perceived to influence the objectivity and integrity of an author, reviewer or editor. This includes, but is not limited to, funding from entities that could gain or lose financially from the publication, current or future employment at such organizations, personal interests like stocks ownership in related companies, and patents related to the manuscript’s content. Non-financial interests include close personal relationships, academic ties, political affiliations, or deep personal or religious beliefs. For Authors:
For Reviewers and Editors:
Important Considerations:
Example statements "Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing financial interests." "Competing Interests: Dr. Alex Brown's work has been funded by the NIH. He is a member of the scientific advisory board of Biotech Enterprise and owns stock in the company. He has also consulted for PharmaCorp and received compensation. Dr. Sarah Johnson and Dr. Mark Lee declare no potential competing interests." Plagiarism Plagiarism occurs when an author presents someone else's work and or ideas as their own. Duplicate publication or self-plagiarism involves reusing significant parts of one’s own published work without proper citation. This includes publishing the same paper in multiple journals or slightly modifying a previous paper by adding small new data segments.
Plagiarism is evident when large sections of text are copied. Minor instances might occur without dishonest intent, such as reusing parts of an introduction from a previous paper. Each case of plagiarism is assessed by journal editors on its merits. Data falsification involves altering research data to mislead, such as manipulating images or omitting inconvenient results. Fabrication includes inventing data or results. Both practices severely damage the credibility of scientific research. Regarding image integrity, the manipulation for clarity is permitted but must be correctly disclosed and represent the original data. Detailed guidelines specify acceptable practices for image processing to ensure accurate representation in publications. Plagiarism Checking Software Plagiarism check process is structured in two distinct stages to ensure the integrity and originality of submissions. Initially, authors are required to perform a similarity/plagiarism check using any freely available online software and must submit a declaration asserting the text does not contain plagiarism, mentioning the program used for similarity check. This step places the initial responsibility on the authors to ensure their work is free of plagiarism before formal review. Once the manuscript has undergone all rounds of review and is accepted for publication, the Editorial Team will conduct a second, more thorough plagiarism check using the iThenticate system. This final check serves as an additional layer of verification to uphold the highest standards of scholarly publishing and maintain the integrity of the Journal's content. This two-step approach ensures that both authors and the Journal contribute to maintaining academic honesty and originality in published work. Sex and Gender Issues The editorial team of the Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, as well as the authors who publish in the journal, must always observe the guidelines on (Sex and Gender Equity in Research – SAGER). The SAGER comprises a set of guidelines regarding sex and gender information in study design, data analysis, and results interpretation. Additionally, the Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences observes the policy of gender equity in the editorial board composition. Ethics Committee When reporting results on humans and/or animals, the authors must present a statement of approval from the institution's ethics committee responsible for approving the research.

Before preparing your manuscript for submission to the Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, it is imperative that authors meticulously review and follow the guidelines outlined in the section "Preparation of the Manuscript". This introduction serves to emphasize critical aspects that need to be adhered to facilitate a smooth review and publication process. Ensuring compliance with these guidelines not only streamlines the editorial workflow but also enhances the scientific integrity and dissemination of your research. Here is a brief overview to guide your preparation and submission process: 1. **Language and Originality**: All manuscripts must be submitted in English, and the submission must be original work that has not been published elsewhere nor is it under consideration by another publication. 2. **Authorship Criteria**: Only individuals who have significantly contributed to the research and manuscript preparation should be listed as co-authors. dditionally, authors must participate in the discussion of results and approve the final version of the manuscript. 3. **Submission Requirements**: Alongside the manuscript, authors need to include a signed copyright form as part of the submission package. Authors are required to perform a plagiarism check using any freely available online software and must submit a certificate along with their manuscript asserting that the text does not contain plagiarism. This step places the initial responsibility on the authors to ensure their work is free of plagiarism before formal review. Failure to include this form will prevent the manuscript from proceeding to the review stage. 4. **Peer Review Process**: Manuscripts that meet the submission guidelines will be subject to a peer review by at least two independent referees. The final decision on the manuscript will be made by the Editor-in-Chief based on the referees' recommendations. 5. **Revision Process**: If revisions are necessary, authors are expected to resubmit the revised manuscript within 30 calendar days, incorporating all suggestions and providing a detailed response to reviewer comments. By adhering to these guidelines, authors ensure that their submissions are adequately prepared for peer review, potentially expediting the publication process. Disclosure Instructions Authors must disclose the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by adding a statement in the core manuscript file, just before the References list. This should be included in a new section titled ‘Declaration of Generative AI and AI Assisted Technologies in the Writing Process’. The use of basic tools for grammar, spelling, and reference checks does not require a declaration. If no such technologies were used, the statement can be omitted. Suggested Statement Model: "During the preparation of this work, the author(s) utilized [NAME OF TOOL/SERVICE] to [SPECIFIC PURPOSE]. The author(s) subsequently reviewed and modified the content as necessary and assume(s) full responsibility for the content of the publication." Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences will publish the following type of manuscript categories: Full-Length Original Paper This is a detailed study reporting original research, including comprehensive data and results. Each manuscript should clearly state its objective or hypothesis; the experimental design and methods used; the essential features of any interventions; the main outcome measures; the main results of the study; and a discussion placing the results in the context of published literature. The manuscript should contain:
Short Communication Short communication is a limited report of significant and original experimental and/or theoretical results that fit within the scope of the Journal. It must be of sufficient importance and general interest to justify publication. The manuscript should contain:
Review Article
A review article should provide a synthetic and critical analysis of a relevant area and should not be merely a chronological description of the literature. A review article by investigators who have made substantial contributions to a specific area of Pharmaceutical Sciences will be published by invitation by the Editors. However, a letter of intention altogether with an outline of a review article may be submitted to the Editors without prior consultation. If it is judged appropriate for the Journal, the author(s) will be invited to prepare the article for peer review.
Mini review Article A mini review is focused on a restricted part of a subject normally covered in a review article. The structure of the mini review follows the same rules as the review. Concepts and Comments The Concepts and Comments section provides a platform for readers to present ideas, theories and views. The manuscript should contain:

After the references, a sentence should be included indicating the contribution of each author to the research. Text format
ORGANIZATION OF THE MANUSCRIPT Continuous page numbers are required for all pages including figures. There are no specific length restrictions for the overall manuscript or individual sections. However, we request authors to present and discuss their findings concisely. We recognize that some articles will not be best presented in the suggested research article format. If you have a manuscript that would benefit from a different format, please contact the editors for further discussion. Preferably, manuscripts should be organized into the following sections: TITLE PAGE Title The title should be as short and informative as possible, should not contain non-standard acronyms or abbreviations, and should not exceed two printed lines. The title should be centered and written in bold as the example below: FREEZE-DRYING OF AMPICILLIN SOLID LIPID NANOPARTICLES USING MANNITOL AS CRYOPROTECTANT Running title This short title, to be used as a page heading, should not exceed 60 characters. Authors and Affiliations Full name (matched with superscript numbers identifying affiliation) must be written in bold and centered. Institution(s) (Department, Faculty, University, City, State, Country) of each author (in English) must be centered and written in italic.
Example: Corresponding author One of the authors should be designated as the corresponding author. It is the corresponding author ́s responsibility to ensure that the author list is accurate and complete. If the article has been submitted on behalf of a consortium, all consortium members and affiliations should be listed in the Acknowledgments section. Provide the name, full address, email address, telephone number, and ORCID number of the author to whom correspondence should be sent identified with an asterisk. Abstract Since abstracts are published separately by Information Services, they should contain sufficient hard data to be appreciated by the reader. The abstract should not exceed 200 words (250 for reviews) and should be prepared in a single paragraph without topics and no margins. The abstract should briefly and clearly present the objective, experimental approach, new results as quantitative data if possible, and conclusions. It should mention the techniques used without going into methodological detail and mention the most important results. Abbreviations should be kept to a minimum and should be defined in both the Abstract and text. Please do not include any reference citations in the abstract. If the use of a reference is unavoidable, the full citation should be given within the abstract. Keywords A list of keywords or indexing terms (no more than 6) should be included avoiding generic terms. Keywords must be separated by dots with only the first letter of the first word in upper case. Example: Apoptosis pharmacokinetics. Toxicology. INTRODUCTION The Introduction should put the focus of the manuscript into a broader context and reflects the present state-of-art of the subject. This should state briefly and clearly the objectives of the investigation with reference to previous works. The introduction should justify the hypothesis of the study. An extensive review of the literature should be avoided and when possible, replaced by recent reviews of the subject. MATERIAL AND METHODS These should be described in sufficient detail that the work can be reproduced. Well-established procedures and techniques require only citation of the original source, except when they are substantially modified. Reports of experimental studies on humans and animals must certify (including the number of protocols) that the research received prior approval by the appropriate institutional review Ethics Committee. RESULTS Results must be presented clearly and concisely and in a logical order. This section should provide the results of all the experiments required to support the conclusions of the paper. When possible, use figures or tables to present data rather than text. Large datasets, including raw data, should be submitted as supplementary files; these are published online and linked to the article. DISCUSSION Discussion should interpret the results and assess their significance in relation to existing knowledge. Speculation not warranted by actual data should be avoided. The Discussion should spell out the major conclusions and interpretations of the work including some explanation of the significance of these conclusions. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS When appropriate, briefly acknowledge technical assistance, advice, and contributions from colleagues. People who contributed to the work but do not fit the criteria for authors should be listed in the Acknowledgments section, along with their contributions. Donations of animals, cells, or reagents should also be acknowledged. Authors must ensure that anyone named in the Acknowledgments agrees to being so named. Financial support for the research and fellowships should be acknowledged in this section (agency and grant number). Figures Figures must be submitted in high-resolution version (300 dpi). They must be uploaded separately from the manuscript file in the file “upload section” of the submission platform. The following file format can be accepted: TIFF (suitable for images) or JPEG with 300 dpi. Preparing figure files for submission The use of figures is mandatory for original articles since it increases the clarity of data. The use of color figures is free of charge. The following guidelines must be observed when preparing figures. Failure to do so is likely to delay the acceptance and publication of the article.
Please note that it is the authors’ responsibility to obtain permission from the copyright holder to reproduce figures (or tables) previously published elsewhere, taking in consideration it will be published as open access. Permission should be indicated in the figure legend, and the original source included in the reference list. Tables
Citations Citations and references should be prepared and listed according to Vancouver's standard reference style (https://library.viu.ca/citing/vancouver). All references should be cited in the text by the authors’ names, with only the first letter in capital letter followed by the year of publication. For more than three authors, the first has to be cited followed by the expression et al. (in italic). Small letters close to the year must differentiate references of the same authors and year of publication.
Examples: References References should be arranged in alphabetical order by the author at the end of the paper. All authors must be mentioned by surname and initials names and separated by a comma. The accuracy and completeness of reference data is the responsibility of the authors. Only published references or accepted in the publication phase should be included in the reference list. Meeting abstracts, conference talks, or papers that have been submitted but not yet accepted should not be cited. Limited citation of unpublished work should be included in the body of the text only.
