Abstract

With immense pleasure and profound responsibility, I presents the 5^th issue of volume 11 2026 of the Universal Journal of Pharmaceutical Research (UJPR). Eleventh volume means 11^th  years that is not merely a number but a testament to sustained research commitment. From its inception, UJPR strives to be more than a collection and repository of data but proudly presents itself to be a bridge between bench and bedside and among the laboratories of global scientific community. UJPR blending the essence of  traditional knowledge and cutting-edge current pharmaceutical innovations.

Current issue comes at a specific moment for pharmaceutical sciences where the world is witnessing a paradigm shift from conventional dosage forms to novel drug delivery systems and AI-driven drug discovery. The pharmaceutical researchers can feel the shift from isolated research to planetary health. The articles in this issue largely reflect this transition. Our contributors have explored critical areas ranging from natural plant extracts their biological activities, pharmacy practice advances like KAP (Knowledge, Attitude, Practice) of various diseases, antimicrobial resistance and herbal standardization as well as advanced drug delivery systems. We all know that quality research needs quality peer review UJPR has remained steadfast in its commitment to rigorous, double-blind peer review, COPE ethical guidelines, and timely publication without quality fall or even quality compromising.

I am surely proud that UJPR has become a voice for researchers from low and middle-income countries, providing a universal compact platform to young scientists, PhD scholars as well as clinical researchers who mostly struggle to find a right place for dissemination their findings and visibility.

I warmly invite all researchers, clinicians and industrial pharmacy scientists to continue submitting their high-quality original research and review articles  to UJPR. As an editor, I sincerely thank to our reviewers, who are the unsung custodians of quality and scientific integrity.
