Title
A. N. Authorname,a A. N. Authornameb and A. N. Authornamec
Abstract text goes here. The abstract should be a single paragraph that summarises the content of the article. The abstract should be a single paragraph (50–250 words). It should set out briefly and clearly the main objectives and results of the work; it should give the reader a clear idea of what has been achieved. Like your title, make sure you use recognisable, searchable terms and keywords.
The main text of the article should appear here with headings as appropriate.
IntroductionAn introduction should 'set the scene' of the work. It should clearly explain both the nature of the problem under investigation and its background. It should start off general and then focus in to the specific research question you are investigating. Ensure you include all relevant references.
Key PointsFor manuscripts in the Research, Reviews, Advances in Pharmacy Practice, Experience, and Commentary sections, authors are required to prepare key points in a bulleted format that describe the article's relevance and contribution to the literature. These are presented under two separate headings: Background and Findings. Two or three key points under each of these headings should provide the context for the article (what is already known on the topic, other relevant background) and what the manuscript findings adds to existing knowledge on the topic.
Article TextResearch: Hypothesis-driven and generalizable studies with sufficient power to show statistical significance that are based on scientific method and scholarly investigations
Advances in Pharmacy Practice: Innovations or other related advances in pharmacy practice; should describe in sufficient detail how to develop and evaluate the innovative practice in such a way that it could be replicated
Systematic Reviews: Systematically driven, comprehensive, and reproducible summaries of current research in primary pharmacy and biomedical literature on clinical, administrative, legal, humanistic, or economic topics; may be evaluated quantitatively (e.g., meta-analysis) or qualitatively based on objective criteria
Commentary: Informed (supported by referenced citations) personal opinions about events, trends, and/or developments in pharmacy or health care
ConclusionsThe conclusions section should come in this section at the end of the article, before the acknowledgements. This is for interpretation of the key points and to highlight the novelty and significance of the work. The conclusions should not summarize information already present in the article or abstract. Plans for relevant future work can also be included.
AcknowledgementsThe acknowledgements come at the end of an article after the conclusions and before the notes and references.
Notes and references‡ Footnotes relating to the main text should appear here. These might include comments relevant to but not central to the matter under discussion, limited experimental and spectral data, and crystallographic data.
