With Post Graduate and Ph.D courses in all the disciplines, research was given the due orientation by the university. Research grants were also sanctioned to encourage the fellow researchers, but the publication of research was still in its infancy. Marking the16th Year of its inception, it gives me immense pleasure to announce the year 2011-2012 as the year of “Journal publication” in different disciplines. Continuous surveillance of research activities in the affiliated health institutions of the university, led us to the thought of publication of quality research under one roof. The implementation of the idea was publication of university’s first Journals in Dental as well as Medical Disciplines. These publication received applaud from Academics, Professional and Faculties. The Student Fraternity was not only benefitted but also received encouragement from their own university to move in the direction of publishing their research work. Further, the thought process of publication of journals proliferated into other disciplines and the result is “RGUHS - Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences” (RJPS). I hope the reader will embrace this publication also and utilize the opportunity to update and upgrade their knowledge. I wish this attempt of publication of scientific work; will also open up a platform for exchange of knowledge within the various disciplines of RGUHS. Dr. S.

Shivananda Principal Al-Ameen College of Pharmacy Bangalore 2 Dear Readers, “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” – an evocative quote by Albert Einstein Man could well have originated science communication with the early discoveries. Science journalism is the key to the real treasure of the scientific knowledge, by virtue of which scientific knowledge and concepts could be carried to the common man. Thus the common man is benefitted with the new advancements in science and technology. The literature of science is as much about wrong turns, aborted lines of query, failure to flourish, and outright failure as success. Even the greatest of scientists have failed now and again, just like the rest of us. Indeed, unless one is selective to the point of unrepresentativeness, it
