Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy is an academic journal that publishes research on aspects of drug development and production, as well as the evaluation of drugs and pharmaceutical products. Core areas
Drugs which fail part-way through this process often incur large costs, while generating no revenue in return. If the cost of these failed drugs is taken into account, the cost of developing a successful new drug (new chemical entity, or NCE), has been estimated at US$1.3 billion [85] (not including marketing expenses). Professors Light and ...
Pharmacocybernetics (also known as pharma-cybernetics, cybernetic pharmacy, and cyber pharmacy) is an emerging field that describes the science of supporting drugs and medications use through the application and evaluation of informatics and internet technologies, so as to improve the pharmaceutical care of patients.
The pharmaceutical industry develops, produces, and markets drugs or pharmaceuticals licensed for use as medications.

As of 2014 about $140 Billion is spent on research and development of pharmaceuticals which produces 25–35 new drugs annually. Technology, which is transforming science, medicine, and research tools has increased the speed at which we can analyze data but we currently still must test the products which is a lengthy process.
