Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technique in the field of pharmaceutics, particularly in relation to the development of drug delivery systems. With the integration of AI and machine learning (ML), the development of drug delivery systems can be greatly accelerated, specifically in the preformulation, formulation design and optimization, process control, manufacturing, and drug delivery processes. Numerous AI algorithms and models have successfully been developed to improve the efficiency and enhance the understanding of these aspects.
This Special Issue aims to focus on recent advances in AI-driven drug delivery systems, including but not limited to, the following: (1) emerging AI applications in formulation design and optimization; (2) ML-enabled drug formulation analytics and characterization; (3) AI-driven methodologies to predict in vitro drug delivery processes; (4) data-driven drug formulation manufacturing and quality control; (5) AI-driven 3D and 4D printing of drug delivery systems; and (6) regulatory sciences of AI-driven drug delivery system development. These topics highlight the importance of AI in the field of pharmaceutics. Original research and review papers that reflect this topic are warmly welcomed.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
