The Journal of
the Iowa Pharmacy Association
is published quarterly and is distributed to IPA members as a
regular membership service paid for through allocation of membership
dues. Subscription rates are available by contacting Nicole Schultz

The Journal of the Iowa Pharmacy Association is transitioning
to a peer-reviewed journal beginning in 2009.
Great
advancements in the quality and credibility of The Journal
are being made due the contributions of authors and peer-reviewers
across the state.
Becoming a peer-reviewer of the IPA Journal:
IPA is currently looking to its membership to help advance The
Journal of the Iowa Pharmacy Association to become a
peer-reviewed journal. If you have an area of knowledge, please

As
a peer reviewer you will only be asked to peer-review up to two
articles every 12 months.
-
As peer reviewer, you will have 2 weeks to review an article.
