Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin

Aims & Scope

Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin (Biol.

Pharm.

Bull.) began publication in 1978 as the Journal of Pharmacobio-Dynamics.

It covers various biological topics in the pharmaceutical and health sciences.

A fourth Society journal, the Journal of Health Science, was merged with Biol.

Pharm.

Bull. in 2012.

The main aim of the Society’s journals is to advance the pharmaceutical sciences with research reports, information exchange, and high-quality discussion.

The average review time for articles submitted to the journals is around one month for first decision.

The complete texts of all of the Society’s journals can be freely accessed through J-STAGE.

The Society’s editorial committee hopes that the content of its journals will be useful to your research, and also invites you to submit your own work to the journals.
