Seeking Guest Editors in 2026

IJPC is an open and free-to-publish journal focused on the needs of compounding pharmacy in the retail, research, regulatory, and industrial realms. We welcome high-quality, scientifically sound content for everyday applications and peer-reviewed studies. We encourage all authors, whether academicians, pharmacists, technicians, researchers, industry leaders, or non-pharmacists with relevant content, to submit for consideration by IJPC.
