Aims and scope

Drugs & Therapy Perspectives promotes rational pharmacotherapy and effective disease management by publishing concise, authoritative review articles to aid drug formulary and treatment decisions, and original research articles covering all aspects of pharmacological treatment to assist healthcare professionals in providing quality patient care. It focuses on the practical application of research and best evidence for healthcare professionals working in real-world clinical settings.

TheJournal includes:

• Reviews of pharmacological agents, disease management, adverse drug reactions and interactions, or other clinically relevant issues. These provide up-to-date guidance on the use of pharmacological agents in the real-world setting, including step-by-step patient care guidelines to aid treatment decisions, and the differential features of drugs to enable formulary comparisons.

• Original research articles with a strong focus on clinical practice and real-world outcomes to assist healthcare professionals in providing quality evidence-based patient care.

• Therapy-in-practice articles, current opinions and commentaries giving international viewpoints on emerging issues and therapeutic approaches to specific diseases or therapeutic questions.

Additional digital features (including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations) can be published with articles; these are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. In addition, articles published in Drugs & Therapy Perspectives may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand important medical advances.

All manuscripts are subject to single-blind peer review by international experts. Letters to the Editor are welcomed and will be considered for publication.
