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.

Editor's pick

This study offers timely, practice-ready evidence for pharmacy education in Japan, where healthcare DX demands pharmacists who can interpret EHR data. A 240-min simulated EHR program using a pediatric Kawasaki disease case integrated case analysis, group discussion, role-play, and reflection, and was evaluated with mixed methods (using tests; rubric-based performance evaluations; ARCS model questionnaires; qualitative analysis of open-ended feedback). Significant pre-post[桃井靖子1] [KY2]  gains in knowledge and performance and high learner motivation support curricular scalability.  [桃井靖子1]文字化けでしょうか  [KY2]「pre-post」でお願いします。
