AIMS and SCOPE | Quantitative Research on Antibiotics

AIMS AND SCOPE:

Quantitative Research on Antibiotics (QRA) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that provides a platform for researchers and professionals from all over the world to publish their research findings, original articles, reviews, and other scientific works on various topics related to antibiotics. The journal aims to promote the latest research and advancements in quantitative research methods and their applications in the field of antibiotics, including new drug development, resistance mechanisms, clinical trials, epidemiology, and more.

The scope of QRA includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

Antibiotic discovery and development
Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance
Antibiotic resistance surveillance and epidemiology
Antimicrobial stewardship
Clinical trials of antibiotics
Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antibiotics
Antibiotic dosing and optimization
Antibiotic resistance in animal and environmental settings
Antibiotic resistance in low- and middle-income countries
Emerging pathogens and antibiotic resistance
Microbial genomics and metagenomics
Microbial ecology and evolution
Systems biology and mathematical modeling of antibiotic resistance
Bioinformatics and computational biology applied to antibiotics
Antibiotic combination therapies
Antibiotic prophylaxis and prophylactic use of antibiotics
Antibiotic use in special populations (pregnant women, children, elderly, etc.)
Antibiotic policy and regulation
Antibiotic economics and market analysis

In addition to original research articles, the journal welcomes review articles, mini-reviews, editorials, perspectives, and commentaries that provide new insights and opinions on current issues and trends in the field of antibiotics. QRA also encourages the submission of replication studies, negative results, and null hypothesis papers.
