Aims and scope

Drug Delivery publishes open access peer-reviewed research on the development and application principles of drug delivery and targeting at molecular, cellular, and higher levels.

Drug Delivery aims to serve both the academic and industrial communities and accepts research on the following topics:

  • All drug delivery systems, including oral, pulmonary, nasal, parenteral and transdermal delivery;
  • All modes of drug entry, such as controlled release systems;
  • Microcapsules, liposomes, vesicles, and macromolecular conjugates;
  • Antibody targeting;
  • Protein/peptide delivery;
  • DNA, oligonucleotide and siRNA delivery.


Papers on drug dosage forms and their optimization will not be considered unless they directly relate to the original drug delivery issues listed above.

The journal publishes both original research and critical reviews. Drug Delivery operates a single anonymized peer review policy.

All articles will be made freely and permanently available online through gold open access publication.
