Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As it is the tradition of the ECMC series and IECP series, and it is indicated in the information of the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmaceutics (ECMC-P 2026) https://sciforum.net/event/ECMC-P2026?section=#welcome, we are pleased to announce the launch of a Special Issue in Pharmaceuticals and in Pharmaceutics journals to collect the most interesting contributions of this ECMC-P2026, which will be hosted on the online platform sciforum.net, throughout the month of November 2026. We invite authors to contribute an extended version of the work presented at the Conference in the form of a full research article describing their original experimental results.
Authors are encouraged to use the Microsoft Word template or LaTeX template to prepare their manuscript. Using the template file provided by Pharmaceuticals (ISSN 1424-8247) or Pharmaceutics journals (ISSN 1999-4923). All manuscripts will undergo peer review and, once accepted, will be published in this Special Issue. A 20% discount will be applied to the article processing charge.
