Manuscripts preferred for publication in Der Pharma Chemica are those which: 1. Contain original work 2. Are focused on the core aims and scope of the journal 3. Are delivered in electronic format only Please read the following instructions carefully and convert your research in manuscript as: Page format: Manuscripts should be prepared as word processing documents on A4, or Letter size paper, leaving a liberal margin (2 cm) on all four sides.
