Author Guidelines

Journal of Eastern - Western Pharmacology and Pharmacy (JEWPP) is a scientific journal which aims to encourage integration of knowledge among those disciplines that underpin medical and pharmaceutical sciences, published by the Mongolian University of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

It is a double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access journal, which welcomes concise papers presenting original research data or methodology in all areas of pharmaceutical science from authors throughout the world.

JEWPP is striving to provide the best platform for researchers and scholars worldwide to exchange their latest findings. Authors are encouraged to submit complete, unpublished, original works that are not under review in any other journals.

The journal is published semi-annual in English and publishes original paper, short communications and reviews. The journal is published in both print and online versions.

Papers’ content focuses on scientifically described or ensured experimental outcome observed on internationally accepted methodological approaches to understanding and managing actual interactions within or among medical systems.

All manuscripts are initially screened on their topic suitability and linguistic quality. Authors are fully responsible for the form and content of their papers. Failure to comply with the formal and scientific criteria should result in eventual resubmission or rejection of the manuscript.

This system of refereeing, where anonymity is preserved both for the authors and the referees, has been adopted by the Journal; authors’ names, addresses and email from the title of the submitted manuscript, and the acknowledgement section is removed for the refereeing.

Types of submission

The Journal of Eastern - Western Pharmacology and Pharmacy welcomes all scientific contributions to the journal in an effort to accommodate the vast array of needs and interests. All manuscripts are subject to review by the Editor, Associate Editors, and Invited Referees. Acceptance is based on the originality, significance, and validity of the material presented. The journal accepts the range of manuscript types: Original articles, Short communications, and Review articles.

Original articles (up to 6,500 words) should report the results of original research, which is the most common type of journal manuscript. The material should not have been published previously elsewhere. It must also include a structured abstract of no more than 300 words.

MANUSCRIPT STRUCTURE

Text:

The main text consists of following sections: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions.

Margins: top/bottom 2 cm, left 3 cm, and right 2 cm;

Font: 11-point Times New Roman;

Line Spacing: 1.5 spaced text throughout;

All subtitles should be in left alignment and bold style

Table & figure:

Tables are sequentially numbered as the: Table 1, Table 2, etc., and each table is provided with a title, shown above right the table that describes the point of the table. Tables should be centered in the page with 11 pt space before and after the paragraph;

Figures (photos, charts, diagrams etc.) are referred to the text by the sequential figure number, as following: Figure 1, Figure 2, etc., and a title, shown below the figure. Figures are centered in the page with 11 pt space before and after the paragraph;

Figures may not reproduce the same data as Tables and must be cited in the text.

Color figures are discouraged, however, if you request color figures in the printed version, you will be contacted by Editor’s office.

Math formulae and units:

• Mathematical writing should be described in equitation program and center-aligned. Leave 11pt space before and after the paragraph;
• Scientific measurements are descried according the SI system, e.g. kg/ha, mg/l,g/kg, mg/kg, mg/l, μm/g, ml/l, etc.; m or mm must be used.

• Do not repeat units in lists, e.g. 3, 10, 17 and 30 °C; 20 or 30 % more. Use % after numbers, not per cent, e.g. 7 % .
• Numerical results should be displayed as means with their relevant standard errors and degrees of freedom. Normally a mean should be rounded to one-tenth of its standard error and the standard error given to one place of decimals more than the mean.

Style and Editorial Conventions

• Dates are written as 02 April 2014; from 19 April to 26 May; from 2015 to 2017 or between 2015 and 2016.
• Months are abbreviated to three letters, no stops, when necessary in Figs or Tables, e.g., May, Jun, Sep.
• Avoid numerals at the beginning of a sentence; spell out or change word order, if necessary. Cardinal and ordinal numerals: spell out up to ten, but note e.g. 3rd–5th leaf stage, 6 million tonnes. Numerals before units, including time, e.g. 3 ha, 5 kg, 30 s (seconds), 20 min, 4 h, 8 days, 6 weeks, 3 months, 2 years.
• Do not use commas in thousands, e.g. 2600, 23 000. Give ranges in full, e.g. 475–489. A zero must always precede a decimal point, e.g. 0.58.

Results

Results should be presented in a logical order and the tables and figures should be numbered in the order they are referenced to in the text. The purpose of tables and figures is to summarize data, so this data should not be repeated in the text. Tables and figures should be explained as to what they show in the Results section. Datasets which are too large for the main text body, but which are necessary for interpretation of the study, may be included as supplementary material. Probability values (p-values) should be reported for all statistical tests.

Discussion

In the Discussion section, results should be discussed

in the context of existing knowledge of a subject area and how the new data advances the knowledge in this subject area. Tables and figures should be referenced, and important implications of the data they present should be discussed. Limitations of the study should be presented as well. Conclusions should be drawn in this section but fully supported by the data presented.

Conclusions
