Preamble

Overwhelming evidence has delineated the importance of “scientific paradigm”, i.e., scholarly consensus, or the degree to which a particular discipline has achieved agreement on priorities to teach and research, including the methods used to perform these endeavors. The discipline of “pharmacy practice” which we contend embraces both clinical pharmacy and social pharmacy has made strides but could do more to advance its paradigm. The journals publishing work in this area can do a great service to its constituent scholars by increasing the visibility of the work published as well as the rigor and quality of that work. This will be facilitated by the journals working together for a common cause so as to assist researchers, authors, reviewers, and publishers. ​

About Us
Pharmacy practice has been defined as “the scientific discipline that studies the different aspects of the practice of pharmacy and its impact on health care systems, medicine use, and patient care”. Like any other scientific discipline, clinical and social pharmacy practice disseminates research findings using scientific journals. Clinical pharmacy and social pharmacy journal editors have a role in promoting the discipline by enhancing the quality of the articles published.

​As has occurred in other health care areas (i.e., medicine and nursing), a group of clinical and social pharmacy practice journal editors gathered in Granada, Spain to discuss how journals could contribute to strengthening pharmacy practice as a discipline. The result of that meeting was compiled in these Granada Statements, which comprise 18 recommendations gathered into six topics: the appropriate use of terminology, impactful abstracts, the required peer reviews, journal scattering, more effective and wiser use of journal and article performance metrics, and authors
’ selection of the most appropriate pharmacy practice journal to submit their work.
