The Journal publishes reviews, research articles and short
communications. The scope of the journal is to enrich Holistic Health
Sciences and Modern Pharmaceutical Technology with each other. It is
essential that authors prepare their manuscripts according to
established specifications. Failure to follow them may result in papers
being delayed or rejected. Therefore, contributors are strongly
encouraged to read these instructions carefully before preparing a
manuscript for submission. The manuscripts should be checked carefully
for grammatical errors. All papers are subjected to peer review.
Types of manuscripts
