A New Journal in the Field of Pharmaceutical Technology Is Born

International audience

<p>Launching a new journal is always an adventure. There are so many tasks, so many people to convince from the publisher to the authors. After many discussions at the GERPAC’s meetings every year in the south of France, we decided that the game was worth the candle. In fact, few journals are dedicated to the field of Pharmaceutical Technology in Hospitals. Very often the scopes of the scientific journals are wider and it is difficult for authors to communicate over much focused technical questions in those papers. This is why Pharmaceutical Technology in Hospital Pharmacy (PTHP) was launched. We are committed to produce a high-quality scientific international journal because our profession really needs it. This journal will be dedicated to all angles of pharmaceutical technologies in hospitals from sterile compounding to electronic devices related to drug production or distribution. Sterilization and radiopharmacy are also considered in this new journal. Detailed aims and scope are provided in this issue along with the instructions to authors. The editorial board of the journal gather hospital pharmacists and scientific researchers all having a strong background in applied research and scientific publishing, holding also a PhD and being for most of them professors of pharmaceutical technology in Universities from European and extra European Universities.
