ULLA Series of Textbooks in the Pharmaceutical Sciences
Concept
The concept is to have a series of textbooks in different
subject areas aimed at science graduates entering a PhD programme
in the pharmaceutical sciences and needing specialised knowledge
about a new subject area. They could also be used for undergraduate
teaching at the Masters level or for specific courses and
for practising pharmaceutical scientists. The textbooks would
be both an introduction to the subject, so that the reader
can get a good breadth about an area, as well as a source
of references for further reading and information. They will
be the kind of books that can be read whilst drinking a cup
of coffee. They will be books written by pharmaceutical scientists
for new pharmaceutical scientists and suitable for world-wide
use.
The series will not be numbered and the words "An Introduction
to" or similar wording will not be used. They will be
written by a single author, or a small group of authors, and
not an edited series of chapters from different authors. The
figures could be available to be downloaded electronically
for use in academic lectures.
Branding and Publisher
The Pharmaceutical Press will be the publisher and publications
in the ULLA series will have a distinctive design incorporating
the use of the ULLA Consortium name and logo.
Format
The books can be of different lengths, but the target is less
than 250 pages with a page size of 234mm x 156mm. This corresponds
to a word length of up to 80,000 words (320 A4 double spaced,
11 point Times New Roman text). The books will be soft-backed.
References will be complete and conform to the Vancouver Style
(numbers in text) with a list of further reading.
Price
The idea is to have a relatively inexpensive series of books
so that many people will buy them (less than £30).
Editorial Board
The Editorial Board comprises the two Editors in Chief (Prof
A Smith [London] and Prof A C Moffat [London]) together with
other academic members of the ULLA Executive Committee and
Consortium: Professor Fred Nyberg (Uppsala), Prof L Dencker
(Uppsala), Prof Meindert Danhof (Leiden), Prof N Vermeulen
(Amsterdam), Prof S Frokjaer (Copenhagen), Ass Prof FS Jorgensen
(Copenhagen), Prof Elias Fattal (Paris), Prof D Labarre (Paris),
Prof Patrizia Santi (Parma), Prof. Franco Bernini (Parma)
and Prof. Patrick Augustijns (Leuven).
Proposals
Proposals should contain: title, planned delivery date, full
names, qualifications and contact details of all authors,
contents list and if possible a sample chapter.
