PHYTOTHERAPY RESEARCH

Phytotherapy Research is a bimonthly plus two additional issues international journal for the publication of original medical plant research including biochemistry and molecular pharmacology toxicology pathology and the clinical applications of herbs and natural products to both human and animal medicine. Papers are also published concerning chemical and botanical identification of herbs or their products where such information contributes to the overall safety of plant based medicines currently in use. Papers and communications concerned solely with the identification and structure elucidation of natural products will only be considered where the work contributes directly to the understanding of the use of the plant as a medicine. Phytotherapy Research publishes full-length original research papers short communications reviews and letters on medicinal plant research. Clincal papers on the applications of herbs and natural products to both human and animal medicine may vary from case histories to full clinical trials. Papers concerned with the effects of common food ingredients and standardised plant extracts including commercial products are welcome as are mechanistic studies on isolated natural products. Phytotherapy Research does not publish purely agricultural phytochemical structure elucidation and identification papers unless pertinent to the pharmacological effects or overall safety of plant based medicines currently in use. Papers dealing with the pharmacology and screening of crude extracts often deal with local medicinal plants and are of only limited interest to an international readership. Therefore please consider carefully whether your paper would be more appropriate to a national journal before sending it to Phytotherapy Research . Crude extract papers will still be considered for publication as short communications but only if they are a single published page in length (equivalent to 600 words to include due allowance for any illustrations). Longer manuscripts will be returned without being reviewed .

PHYTOTHERAPY RESEARCH期刊中文简介

《植物疗法研究》是一份双月刊和两期的国际期刊，内容包括生物化学和分子药理学、毒理学、病理学以及草药和天然产物在人类和动物医学上的临床应用。还发表了关于草药或其产品的化学和植物学鉴定的论文，这些信息有助于目前使用的植物性药物的总体安全。仅与天然产物的鉴定和结构阐明有关的论文和通信将只考虑那些直接有助于了解植物作为药物的用途的工作。植物疗法研究发表完整的原始研究论文，简短的交流评论和药用植物研究的信件。关于草药和天然产品在人类和动物医学上的应用的学术论文可能会从病例史到完整的临床试验各不相同。有关普通食品成分和标准化植物提取物(包括商业产品)的影响的论文，以及对分离的天然产品的力学研究，都受到欢迎。植物疗法研究不发表纯农业植物化学结构阐明和鉴定论文，除非与当前使用的植物药物的药理作用或总体安全性有关。有关药理学和粗提取物筛选的论文往往涉及当地的药用植物，对国际读者的兴趣有限。因此，请仔细考虑您的论文是否更适合发表在国家期刊上，然后再将其发送给植物疗法研究。未经提炼的论文仍将被视为短通信，但前提是它们只有一页的篇幅(相当于600字，包括适当的插图)。较长的稿件将不经审查退回。
