It recognizes individuals who have consistently achieved research accomplishments or pursued advanced studies within the Society, granting them the JSSX SME title.

  3. At least one publication as first author (including equally contributing authors) or corresponding author in journals published by the Japanese Society for Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics (DMPK and Newsletter) or in pharmacokinetics-related journals (limited to peer-reviewed journals).
