Journal of Research in Pharmacy is the official scientific journal of Marmara University Faculty of Pharmacy. The journal is the continuation of the former "Journal of Pharmacy of University of Marmara" which was published between 1985 and 1997. Since 2010, the journal has been published online bimonthly (January-March-May-July-September-November). It is an open access, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the publication of papers in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences. The journal only accepts articles written in English for evaluation. The journal aims at providing a medium for the dissemination of interdisciplinary papers of interest for many different specialists.

Manuscripts submitted to Journal of Research in Pharmacy are only accepted on the comprehension that (I) they are subject to editorial review (at least by two independent referees); (II) they have not been, and will not be fully or partially published elsewhere; (III) the recommendations of the most recent version of the Declaration of Helsinki, for humans, and the European Community guidelines as accepted principles for the use of experimental animals have been adhered to.

Journal of Research in Pharmacy publishes original research papers, review articles and scientific commentaries on all aspects of pharmaceutical sciences depending on their conceptual novelty and scientific quality.
