The JIP is a peer-reviewed online journal dedicated to the practice of rational pharmacotherapy through the use of evidence-based principles.

The idea for the Journal arose out of a recognized need for the following:

  • a journal that provides pharmacotherapy literature reviews which highlight, condense, interpret and put this information into proper perspective using evidence-based principles;

  • a journal that permits clinicians to disseminate non-peer-reviewed research findings rapidly;

  • an alternative to traditional hardcopy distribution to facilitate the rapid and widespread dissemination of original research activity reports and;

  • a journal that is accessible to all, for a price that all can afford.
