YAKUGAKU ZASSHI
The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan, established in 1880, is one of Japan’s oldest and most distinguished academic societies. The Society currently has around 15,000 members. It publishes three monthly scientific journals. Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin (Chem. Pharm. Bull.) began publication in 1953 as Pharmaceutical Bulletin. It covers chemistry fields in the pharmaceutical and health sciences. Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin (Biol. Pharm. Bull.) began publication in 1978 as the Journal of Pharmacobio-Dynamics, which then merged the Journal of Health Science, another former Society’s journal, in 2012. It covers various biological topics in the pharmaceutical and health sciences. Yakugaku Zasshi (Japanese for “Pharmaceutical Science Journal”) has the longest history, with publication beginning in 1881. Yakugaku Zasshi is published mostly in Japanese, except for some articles related to clinical pharmacy and pharmaceutical education, which are published in English. The main aim of the Society’s journals is to advance the pharmaceutical sciences with research reports, scientific communication, and high-quality discussion. The average review time for articles submitted to the journals is around one month for first decision. The complete texts of all of the Society’s journals can be freely accessed through J-STAGE. The Society’s editorial committee hopes that the content of its journals will be useful to your research, and also invites you to submit your own work to the journals.

Evaluation of the Usefulness of Pharmacy Lectures to Non-pharmaceutical Students Majoring in Life Sciences: A Questionnaire Survey Read more
Editor's pick

This survey assessed the value of pharmacy lectures for non-pharmacy life science students. Of the respondents, 98.6% found that lectures contributed to enhancing their learning within their field of study. A Customer Satisfaction analysis identified topics like "pain, psychology, analgesics, and psychotic drugs" and "adverse event" as being in the priority maintenance field, while "hypertension and therapeutic agent" and "drug interactions" needed improvement. This suggests that pharmacy lectures can deepen life science students' learning, highlighting the value of pharmacy education.
