Aim and Scope

The Specialty Journal of Pharmacognosy, Phytochemistry, and Biotechnology is committed to publishing original, high-quality scientific contributions that advance research and innovation in the fields of pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, and biotechnological applications related to natural products.

The primary aim of the journal is to provide a reputable platform for researchers, scientists, academic professionals, and industry experts to disseminate cutting-edge findings that bridge traditional knowledge with modern scientific methods and emerging biotechnological techniques.

Scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

• Pharmacognosy: study, identification, and characterization of medicinal plants and natural raw materials.
• Phytochemistry: isolation, structural elucidation, analysis, and bioactivity evaluation of plant-derived compounds.
• Ethnobotany and traditional medicinal knowledge contributing to modern drug discovery.
• Plant biotechnology: in vitro culture techniques, genetic engineering, metabolic engineering, and biotransformation for sustainable production of bioactive natural compounds.
• Quality control, standardization, and safety assessment of herbal medicines and phytopharmaceuticals.
• Innovative extraction methods and green technologies for natural product development.
• Bioassay-guided fractionation and mechanism-of-action studies of phytoconstituents.
• Application of bioinformatics, genomics, proteomics, and other advanced biotechnological tools in natural product research.
• Development of novel biotechnological processes for scaling up the production of plant-based therapeutics.

The journal encourages the submission of original research articles, systematic reviews, mini-reviews, short communications, case reports, and letters to the editor that align with its scope. Interdisciplinary studies that integrate pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, and biotechnology to address global healthcare challenges are especially welcome.

Through rigorous peer review and the contribution of an expert Editorial Board, the Specialty Journal of Pharmacognosy, Phytochemistry, and Biotechnology aims to uphold the highest standards of scientific excellence, promote collaborative research, and support the sustainable development and innovative use of natural resources for the benefit of human health.
