The Journal of Ethnopharmacology and Toxicology is a multidisciplinary, open-access, international, and peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the rapid dissemination of research in botany, plant science, pharmacology, and toxicology.
Its comprehensive scope includes:
Interdisciplinary Studies: The journal particularly welcomes papers focusing on the ethnopharmacology, ethnobotany, or ethnochemistry of indigenous drugs, encompassing their traditional uses and scientific validation.
Biological and Pharmacological Effects: It aims to provide information about the biological and pharmacological effects of natural products derived from plants, fungi, animals, microorganisms, and minerals used by people, including their mechanisms of action.
Traditional and Herbal Medicine: Research on traditional medicine systems, herbal medicine, and phytomedicine, including the study of plant extracts and essential oils, is a core focus.
Animal Health and Aquaculture: The journal extends its interest to the application of natural products and interventions, such as probiotics, to enhance health, growth performance, and overall well-being in animals, including aquatic species like fish. This covers studies on nutritional aspects and the impact of such interventions on animal physiology.
Botanical and Ecological Research: Original papers on the classification, biodiversity, morphology, physiology, molecular biology, ecology, biotechnology, and ethnobotany of medicinal plants and other species are considered.
Clinical Applications and Efficacy: New findings on medicinal plants in healthcare, including clinical trials and pilot studies, are welcomed, especially those demonstrating activity against various conditions such as inflammation, diabetes, and cancer.
Toxicological Medicine: A significant part of the journal's scope covers toxicological medicine, risk assessment, safety evaluation, environmental health, and the mechanisms of harmful agents, including the safety profiles of natural products and interventions across different biological systems.
