Articles in English are invited on any aspect of the history of pharmacy. Contributions are carefully peer reviewed and edited to ensure that the journal remains a high quality publication. Articles are indexed in Medline (the US National Library of Medicine database) as Pharm Hist (Lond), as well as in Scopus, Embase and PubPharm. Please see the "Instructions for Contributors" for more details about how to submit material for publication.   The Pharmaceutical Historian fully supports internationally accepted high standards in publication.

From Volume 47 Number 2 the journal assumed the subtitle 'an International Journal for the History of Pharmacy.' This reflects some exciting recent developments for us. Firstly, it acknowledges a new publishing agreement between ourselves and the International Society for the History of Pharmacy (ISHP). Secondly, the journal is now available on the IngentaConnect distribution platform. Going online also allows the use of colour for the first time. Printed copies continue to be sent to BSHP members. They can also be made available to ISHP member organisations that wish to purchase copies from the publisher for distribution to their own members.
