The Australian Pharmacy Students’ Journal (APSJ) is seeking original research submissions for the upcoming 2026 issues.

Pharmacy students, interns and early career pharmacists who completed an Honours, internship or capstone research project in 2025 are encouraged to submit a paper of their research.

For competitive internship and job applications, a published research paper is a valuable and noteworthy addition to students’ and early career pharmacists’ curriculum vitae.

Individuals can also choose to cite their research publishing experience in their applications towards professional awards for students and early career pharmacists. In addition, authorship can distinguish candidates applying for a PhD or further studies.

All individuals who publish their work in the APSJ receive a physical copy of the issue and certificate of authorship. Certain works may be eligible for prizes if submitted as part of an APSJ competition.

Pharmacy students and interns are urged to make the most of their Honours, capstone and curricular research projects by publishing a paper on their project.

The APSJ accepts original student-led research across the full-scope of pharmacy, including pharmacy practice, pharmacology and pharmaceutical science.

Students can submit their research to the APSJ via the journal’s website, here.

To learn more, reach out to Jessie Kristo (research@napsa.org.au) or Zadid Syed (apsj@napsa.org.au) and visit the APSJ’s website https://apsj.com.au/index.php/journal/index and instagram @the_apsj.
