Azerbaijan Pharmaceutical and Pharmacotherapy Journal (APPJ) accepts submissions that have previously been shared as preprints, as long as they have not undergone peer review. Preprints are draft versions of papers made available online before submission to a journal.
Expanded and high-quality conference papers can also be considered for publication as articles if they meet the following requirements:
- The paper should be expanded to the size of a research article.
- The conference paper should be cited and acknowledged on the first page of the paper.
- If the authors do not hold the copyright of the published conference paper, they should obtain appropriate permission from the copyright holder.
- Authors should indicate in their cover letter that the submission is based on a conference paper and provide a statement describing the changes made compared to the original conference paper.
It is important to note that Azerbaijan Pharmaceutical and Pharmacotherapy Journal does not publish pilot studies or studies with inadequate statistical power. Therefore, conference papers that do not fulfill the above conditions should not be submitted.
