Borneo Journal of Pharmacy is an international scientific journal published four times a year (in February, May, August, and November) onward February 2020 by the Institute for Research and Community Services Universitas Muhammadiyah Palangkaraya. Borneo Journal of Pharmacy accepts scientific articles as original research articles, short communication, reviews, and mini-reviews from anyone without any discrimination, as long as they submit articles that meet scientific principles.

Effective June 1st, 2025, or starting from Volume 8 Issue 3 2025, the Borneo Journal of Pharmacy exclusively focuses on publishing research from authors affiliated with institutions on the Borneo Islands (Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam), and/or research predominantly conducted within the Borneo Island region. However, to continue promoting global scientific discourse while maintaining our core focus, we will consider manuscripts from authors outside the specified Borneo region only if the research involves a genuine and active collaboration with researchers affiliated with institutions on Borneo Island. This means the partnership should extend beyond joint authorship and involve substantive joint research efforts conducted by researchers from both parties. Evidence of such collaboration, including methodological contributions, data collection, or significant intellectual input from Borneo-based researchers, will be required.

  1. Pharmacology-Toxicology, including pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacotherapy, and toxicology.
