The Journal of Liposome Research aims to publish original, high-quality, peer-reviewed research on the topic of liposomes and related systems, lipid-based delivery systems, lipid biology, and both synthetic and physical lipid chemistry. Reviews and commentaries or editorials are generally solicited and are editorially reviewed. The Journal also publishes abstracts and conference proceedings including those from the International Liposome Society.

The scope of the Journal includes:

    Formulation and characterisation of systems
    Formulation engineering of systems
    Synthetic and physical lipid chemistry
    Lipid Biology
    Biomembranes
    Vaccines
    Emerging technologies and systems related to liposomes and vesicle type systems
    Developmental methodologies and new analytical techniques pertaining to the general area
    Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and biodistribution of systems
    Clinical applications

The Journal also publishes Special Issues focusing on particular topics and themes within the general scope of the Journal.
