Generally, the Borneo Journal of Pharmacy has three types of editors: Editor-in-Chief, associate editors, and editorial board members. Regarding their roles, associate editors have the same roles as editorial board members and may be assigned as Editor-in-Charge by the Editor-in-Chief. The difference is that associate editors are chosen as representatives from each continent and have the authority to propose new editors and reviewers for each region, as well as to serve as ambassadors for the Borneo Journal of Pharmacy.

• The Editor-in-Chief is generally responsible for three things: managing the journal's publisher-related systems, including accreditation/indexation status; ensuring that articles received and published are within the journal's scope; and selecting the Editor-in-Charge based on the manuscript's substance. In addition, the Editor-in-Chief of the Borneo Journal of Pharmacy also acts as a copyeditor and layout editor, ensuring that all published articles have a uniform appearance and format. The Editor-in-Chief must come from the same institution as the publisher (Universitas Muhammadiyah Palangkaraya). It may be replaced by a candidate who previously served on the editorial board, with consideration of their research track record.
• The Editor-in-Charge of the Borneo Journal of Pharmacy decides which articles should be published. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions. The Editor-in-Charge may be guided by the policies of the Borneo Journal of Pharmacy's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The Editor-in-Charge may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision. The Editor-in-Charge at any time evaluates manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors and must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial board members, and the publisher, as appropriate. The Editor-in-Charge's determination is based on several factors, including each editor's area of expertise, potential conflicts of interest, workload, and willingness. The appointment of the Editor-in-Charge must also consider the potential conflict of interest with the authors. Therefore, the authors and the Editor-in-Charge must not be affiliated with the same institution and, as much as possible, be from different countries.
