Drug Delivery (journal)

Drug Delivery is a peer-reviewed scientific journal focusing on research and development related to the science and technology of drug delivery systems. The journal covers a broad range of topics, including:

• Novel Drug Delivery Systems: Reports on the creation and characterization of new drug delivery systems, such as nanoparticles, microparticles, liposomes, hydrogels, and other controlled-release technologies.

• Materials Science in Drug Delivery: Research concerning the development and application of novel materials for drug encapsulation, release, and targeting.

• Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics: Studies investigating the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of drugs from various delivery systems, as well as their pharmacological effects.

• Targeted Drug Delivery: Research aimed at delivering drugs specifically to diseased cells or tissues, minimizing off-target effects.

• Transdermal, Oral, and Pulmonary Drug Delivery: Investigations into the development and optimization of drug delivery routes through the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and lungs.

• Biotechnology and Gene Therapy Delivery: Articles focusing on the use of drug delivery systems for delivering biologics, such as proteins, peptides, antibodies, nucleic acids, and gene therapies.

• Formulation Science: Research on the formulation and processing of drug products, including stability studies, bioavailability enhancement, and scale-up considerations.

• Preclinical and Clinical Studies: Reports on in vitro, in vivo, and clinical evaluations of novel drug delivery systems.

The journal aims to provide a platform for researchers and scientists to disseminate their findings and contribute to the advancement of drug delivery technologies. It publishes original research articles, reviews, and short communications. Drug Delivery is indexed in major databases such as MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The journal is generally considered to be a reputable source of information within the pharmaceutical science and drug delivery fields.
