Conditions:

The accuracy and factuality of the data presented are the authors’ responsibility. Authors must acknowledge and acquire any authorization needed for publication. The Editorial Boards would not intervene with any issue regarding the regulation of the research conducted or the data shown.  Manuscripts must contain original unpublished work and should be submitted exclusively to the Pharmacon (Pharmaceutical Journal of Indonesia). Publication of the manuscripts is based on the content of the research on a particular category. The antibacterial activity determination on natural resources is now so routine that papers reporting one or two new samples are rarely accepted unless other information such as the metabolite profiling or the quantitative analysis of particular metabolites is included. The publication of known compounds with potential bioactivity or detailed spectroscopic investigations will be preferred. Optimization of formulation in pharmaceutical preparations and its activity test in vitro or in vivo will also be considered.

Preparation of manuscripts:

In order to avoid diversity in presentation layouts which lead to technical difficulties, all authors are advised to observe the following guidelines.

Pictures/photographs must be in high definition standard with the title/ explanation in the backside.
• References cited in the manuscript must be followed by the author’s last name and the year of its publication. In case the authors of the cited references are more than two people, it should be written with ‘et al.’ then followed by the year.
• References/ bibliography are listed alphabetically.
