About EJHP

EJHP Practice and Science

The European Journal of Hospital Pharmacy (EJHP), the official journal of the European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP), has been published in English since 1995, publishing mainly scientific peer reviewed papers submitted by European hospital pharmacists, covering a range of clinical, scientific and practice topics.

From 2002 onwards, EJHP evolved to its current format with cover and feature stories, clinical updates, conference reports, country focus, technical and therapeutic developments and other editorial elements.

Following a decision taken in January 2004 by the Board of EAHP with the support of nine member countries, starting from 2005, EJHP is published in two editions - EJHP Practice and EJHP Science – which are distributed together.

EJHP is published six times per year (bi-monthly) and mailed to more than 17,000 European hospital pharmacists, subscribers and key opinion leaders in 28 European countries. Readership and authorship from non-European countries are also encouraged. The Journal adopted a new layout in 2006 to enhance reader’s interest and attention. EAHP membership is growing, and the journal enjoys the highest degree of market penetration.

EJHP is freely available online (www.ppme.eu). All published articles and our ‘Guidance for Authors’ can be downloaded in pdf format. EJHP offers a unique communication and continuing education medium for all European hospital pharmacists. Please refer to our website to see how we serve our community of hospital pharmacists.

As it is the official EAHP journal, EJHP Practice and Science are guaranteed to European hospital pharmacists who are members of the national association of hospital pharmacists.

EJHP is also distributed at the annual EAHP Congress (March), ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting (December) and at the major annual European oncology congress (September).

In addition, EJHP participates in national and relevant international events to promote its awareness and circulation.

The top 10 countries comprise 89% of the total circulation.

In 2005, EAHP conducted the third pan-European survey on the state of the art of hospital pharmacy amongst 22 European countries. EJHP, as the official journal of EAHP and unique communication platform for European hospital pharmacists, received the attention it deserves in this study. It is encouraging to see our fellow hospital pharmacy practitioners consider EJHP plays a significant role in training and continued education, as well as sharing valuable insights into and experience of hospital pharmacy practice. Below are the survey results on EJHP (N = 636).

Practitioners in the area of hospital pharmacy who would like to author papers on topics relating to their profession, and whose manuscripts comply with the editorial policy of EJHP, are welcome to submit their manuscripts for assessment, peer-review and publication in EJHP.

EJHP is distributed free to EAHP members. Subscription is available to individuals, institutions, universities, hospitals, corporations and students who are not members of EAHP.
