October is Talk About Prescriptions month, so Himmelfarb Library is celebrating our most frequently used pharmacology journals!
- International Journal of Drug Policy: This journal publishes current research, reviews, debate, and critical analysis on drug use and drug policy. Articles focus on the social, political, legal, and health contexts of psychoactive substance use and the effects of drug policy and practice on drug-use behavior, and the health and social consequences of drug use.
- Nature Reviews Drug Discovery: Focused on drug discovery and development, this journal publishes reviews and perspectives on topics such as drug discovery, summaries of key primary research papers, updates on the newest advancements in new drug approvals, patent law, and industry trends.
- Value in Health: Publishing original research and health policy articles related to health economics and outcomes, Value in Health evaluates medical technologies including pharmaceuticals.
- Journal of Medical Chemistry: This title publishes articles, perspectives, and drug annotations that focus on the relationship between molecular structure and biological activity or mode of action.
- Clinical Therapeutics: This journal focuses on publishing developments in drugs and other therapies including diagnostics, pharmacoeconomics, health policy, treatment outcomes, and innovations in drug and biologics research. Articles range from pivotal studies that explore new chemical entities, to those that explore the repurposing of currently marketed agents.
- Neuropsychopharmacology: As the official journal of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP), this journal publishes clinical and basic science articles that further the understanding of the brain and behavior. Articles that focus on the molecular, cellular, physiological, and psychological properties of agents that interact with the central nervous system and identify new molecular targets for the development of new drugs are regularly published.
