ASCPT Journal Family Launches Joint Virtual Oncology Issue and CPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology to Receive an Impact Factor
Exciting things are happening within the ASCPT Family of Journals, including the launch a joint-virtual issue on oncology therapeutics and the announcement that CPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology will receive its first Impact Factor. 

In recent years, oncology therapeutics have been transformed by an improved understanding of cancer biology fueled by the ability to harness multidimensional population data and the diversification of therapeutic modalities in biotechnology. Building on the September 2020 issue of Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, which focused on oncology, the ASCPT Family of Journals has launched a joint-virtual issue on the subject. 

The issue, which can be accessed here, provides a tour of selected innovations in precision medicine, model-informed drug discovery and development frameworks, and the evolving clinical trial and regulatory landscape that have nurtured patient-focused research, development, and clinical practice.  

ASCPT is also delighted that CPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology (PSP) has been accepted into Clarivate Analytics’ Science Citation Index Expanded and will receive its first impact factor in June 2021. Credit and congratulations go to the PSP editorial team and Editorial Board members whose time shepherding manuscripts through the review process, thoughtful feedback to authors, and submitted papers have made this goal possible. This news is only expected to increase the number of top-notch submissions to the journal and cement its status as a leader in the field.
