Guide for Authors
SCOPE OF THE JOURNAL
The Journal of Controlled Release (JCR) publishes high-quality research articles in the broad field of delivery science and technology. This includes drug delivery systems and all aspects of formulations, such as physicochemical and biological properties of drugs, design and characterization of dosage forms, release mechanisms, in vivo testing, and formulation research and development in the disciplines of pharmaceutical, diagnostic, agricultural, environmental, cosmetic, and food industries. Manuscripts that advance fundamental understanding of principles and/or demonstrate advantages of novel technologies in safety and efficacy over current clinical standards will be given priority. Each issue has the cover story highlighting the significance of a selected article published in the issue. At the end of each quarter, the JCR editors select "The Editors' Choice" from the published research articles. For more information about the types of articles sought by JCR please read the this editorial.
Papers that provide no new concepts or mechanistic insights will not be considered. The Letter of Submission should explain in one paragraph the originality and significance of the submitted work. The manuscript will not be processed without this information.
Please note that figures and tables should be embedded in the text as close as possible to where they are initially cited and for REVISED PAPERS ONLY it is mandatory to upload separate graphic and table files also as these will be required if your manuscript is accepted for publication.
