About this journal
Aims and scope
Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology [ISSN 1751-2433]; [e-ISSN 1751-2441] is a MEDLINE-indexed, international subscription-based journal publishing rigorously peer-reviewed review articles and original papers on all aspects of clinical safety, tolerability, efficacy and therapeutic applications.
The journal also covers toxicity issues, adverse reactions, pharmacoeconomics, and societal issues. Adverse reactions experienced at the clinical trial level serve as a constant reminder of the importance of rigorous safety and toxicity testing. Furthermore, the advent of pharmacogenomics and ‘individualized’ approaches to therapy will demand a fresh approach to drug evaluation and healthcare delivery.
Please note that the journal does not publish preclinical or Phase I-II studies, unless there is a clear indication for translational medicine. Each article is structured to incorporate the author's own expert opinion on the impact of the topic on research and clinical practice and the scope for future development.
Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology aims to address the needs of clinical and pharmaceutical researchers, drug development specialists, physicians, and other specialists and players who are actively meeting such challenges in modern biomedical practice.
The Editors welcome novel research in the following key areas:
- ADME studies and PK/PD modelling
- Novel clinical trial design and conduct
- Toxicity and carcinogenesis
- Adverse effects/reactions, drug–drug and drug–disease interactions
- Pharmacogenetics, genomics and the incorporation of new biomarkers in drug development and clinical practice
- Pharmacoepidemiology, risk management and pharmacovigilance
- Pharmacotherapy in specific groups of people, such as children, women, the immunocompromised, and different ethnicities
- Impact on quality of life and pharmacoeconomic issues
- Regulation of drug development and marketing
- Epidemiology and biostatistics
The journal welcomes:
- Reviews
- Original research
- Editorials
- Drug profiles
- Meta-analyses
- Letters to the Editor
Please note that the journal does not publish case reports or case series. Letters to the Editor should discuss articles previously published in the journal.
Comprehensive coverage in each review article is complemented by the unique Expert Collection format and includes the following sections:
Expert Opinion – a personal view of the data presented in the article, a discussion on the developments that are likely to be important in the future, and the avenues of research likely to become exciting as further studies yield more detailed results.
Article Highlights – an executive summary of the author’s most critical points.
Once your paper has been assessed for suitability by the Editorial Team, it will then be double-anonymous peer-reviewed by independent, expert referees.
Reach an international clinical and medical audience alongside other key option leaders in your field by publishing with Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology, part of the Expert Collection brand.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
Journal metrics in brief
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of the following metrics (find out why).
- Usage: the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the nearest thousand.
Citation Metrics
- Impact Factor*: the average number of citations received by articles published in the journal within a two-year window. Only journals in the Clarivate Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) have an Impact Factor.
- Impact Factor Best Quartile*: the journal’s highest subject category ranking in the Journal Citation Reports. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest Impact Factors.
- 5 Year Impact Factor*: the average number of citations received by articles in the journal within a five-year window.
- CiteScore (Scopus)†: the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over a four-year period.
- CiteScore Best Quartile†: the journal’s highest CiteScore ranking in a Scopus subject category. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest CiteScores.
- SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper): the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation potential in the field.
- SJR (Scimago Journal Rank): Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
- From submission to first decision: the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a first decision in the last six months.
- From submission to first post-review decision: the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the journal to receive a first decision if it is sent out for peer review. Based on manuscripts receiving a post-review first decision in the last six months.
- From acceptance to online publication: the average (median) number of days from acceptance of a manuscript to online publication of the Version of Record. Based on articles published in the last six months.
- Acceptance rate: articles accepted for publication by the journal in the previous calendar year as percentage of all papers receiving a final decision.
