In general, there are three types of editors in the Borneo Journal of Pharmacy: Editor-in-Chief, associate editors, and editorial board members. In terms of their roles, associate editors have the same roles as editorial board members and may be assigned as Editor-in-Charge by the Editor-in-Chief. The difference is that associate editor are chosen as representatives from each continent and have the authority to propose new editors and reviewers from each region and ambassadors for the Borneo Journal of Pharmacy.

• Editor-in-Chief is generally responsible for three things: managing the journal management system related to publishers, including accreditation/indexation status, ensuring articles received and published are by the journal's scope, and selecting Editor-in-Charge by the substance of the manuscript. In addition, the Editor-in-Chief of the Borneo Journal of Pharmacy also acts as a copyediting and layout editor, ensuring that all published articles have a uniform appearance and format. The Editor-in-Chief must come from the same institution as the publisher (Universitas Muhammadiyah Palangkaraya) and may undergo replacement with a candidate who previously came from the editorial board members, taking into account the track record of their research.
• The Editor-in-Charge of the Borneo Journal of Pharmacy is responsible for deciding which articles should be published. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions. The Editor-in-Charge may be guided by the policies of the Borneo Journal of Pharmacy's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The Editor-in-Charge may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision. The Editor-in-Charge at any time evaluates manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors, and must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial board members, and the publisher, as appropriate. The determination of the Editor-in-Charge is based on several factors, including the area of expertise of the editor, potential conflicts of interest, the workload of each editor, and the willingness of prospective editors. The appointment of the Editor-in-Charge must also take into account the potential conflict of interest with the authors. Therefore, the authors and Editor-in-Charge must not come from the same institution and, as much as possible, come from different countries.
