Iranian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (IJPS) is an open access, internationally peer-reviewed journal that seeks to publish research articles in different pharmaceutical sciences subdivisions: pharmacology and toxicology, nanotechnology, pharmaceutics, natural products, biotechnology, pharmaceutical chemistry, clinical pharmacy and other pharmacy related topics.

IJPS is the official journal of Iranian Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists and was first published in winter 2005. For 7 years, the journal’s headquarter was in Shiraz University of medical Sciences with the privilege of having Professor Hossein Niknahad as the journal’s editor in chief. The association decided to move IJPS’s HQ to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in November 2012.

In 2023 the Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Center at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences has officially assigned as the publisher of IJPS based on a contract between this center and the Iranian Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists.

The Iranian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences has shifted its publication schedule from quarterly to a continuous publication format starting from the beginning of 2025.

This change is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance accessibility and ensure timely dissemination of high-quality content to our readers and contributors. By adopting a continuous publication system, we aim to streamline the publishing process, reduce delays, and provide immediate access to articles as soon as they are ready for release.
