Call For Papers!

AAPS Open is calling for submissions to our Collection on "Freeze Drying Technology: Recent Advances, Innovations and Applications".

Since the early industrial applications of freeze-drying plasma and penicillin to improve storage stability and transportation during World War II, tremendous progress has been made in the commercial freeze-drying technology to manufacture sensitive therapeutics and enable access of shelf-stable medicines to patients globally, with hundreds of lyophilized drug products approved and commercialized to date. While technological advances have improved efficiency of the modern freeze-drying process, several novel drying technologies have emerged as alternatives to conventional vial-based freeze-drying, with potential to enable new product types and expand manufacturing scale.

Learn More and Submit to the Collection!
Deadline to Submit: April 30, 2025


What is AAPS OPEN?

Fully peer-reviewed, AAPS Open welcomes reports from experimental or theoretical studies during the entire course of development of a drug candidate, for both synthetic drugs as well as biopharmaceutical products including vaccines, cell and gene therapeutics, and other new modalities such as nucleotide-based therapeutics.

The journal’s interest in drug development research includes - but is not limited to - drug discovery, translational research, preclinical studies, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics studies, formulation design and stability testing, drug delivery and drug administration including all aspects around combination products, analytical assay development and validation, modeling and simulation approaches, mechanistic studies, drug substance and drug product manufacturing, clinical evaluation, as well as regulatory topics or post-launch activities.

AAPS Open specifically welcomes white papers, commentaries, and perspectives from experts in their field, as well as meeting reports, and review or brief review articles. For reports of primary research, a high degree of innovation is required.

Review of Opinions and Summary Reports Guideline

The American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) has established a position of leadership among pharmaceutical scientists such that the opinions of AAPS groups and summary reports from AAPS-sponsored events may be disseminated. This guideline provides a general framework by which such opinions should be communicated, posted, or published, and the process by which the association will review such items for approval.
