• Express Pharma accepts editorial material for regular columns and from pre-approved contributors/ columnists.
• Express Pharma has a strict non-tolerance policy towards plagiarism and will blacklist all authors found to have used/referred to previously published material in any form, without giving due credit in the industry-accepted format.
• As per our organisation’s guidelines, we need to keep on record a signed and dated declaration from the author that this article is authored by him/her/them, that this article is his/her/their original work, that all references have been quoted in full where necessary or due acknowledgement has been given. The declaration also needs to state that the article has not been published before and there exists no impediment to our publication. Without this declaration we cannot proceed.
