Iranian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (IJPS) is an open access, internationally peer-reviewed journal that seeks to publish research articles in different pharmaceutical sciences subdivisions: pharmacology and toxicology, nanotechnology, pharmaceutics, natural products, biotechnology, pharmaceutical chemistry, clinical pharmacy and other pharmacy related topics.

IJPS is the official journal of Iranian Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists and was first published in winter 2005. For 7 years, the journal’s headquarter was in Shiraz University of medical Sciences with the privilege of having Professor Hossein Niknahad as the journal’s editor in chief. The association decided to move IJPS’s HQ to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in November 2012.

In 2023 the Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Center at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences has officially assigned as the publisher of IJPS based on a contract between this center and the Iranian Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists.

 

The new IJPS logo, designed by SBMU pharmacy student Seyed-Mehdi Mousavi-Mehr at the request of the chief editor, incorporates the Iranian alphabet to present the journal's abbreviation. The first character resembles an 'I' but is the Iranian letter 'A' in an underlined format. The second character, 'J,' is represented by the Farsi letter 'z' in small form. The character for 'P' is an upside-down Farsi 'L,' and the last character 'S' is represented by the Farsi letter 'Y.' This logo captures the essence of the publisher's location for this English-language international scientific journal.
