The Journal of Phytomedicine and Botany is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal focusing on phytomedicine and medicinal botany, with emphasis on the scientific investigation of medicinal plants and plant-derived products for pharmacological, pharmaceutical, toxicological, and therapeutic applications.

The journal welcomes interdisciplinary research covering the identification, authentication, characterization, quality assessment, phytochemistry, pharmacognosy, pharmacology, toxicology, drug discovery, pharmaceutical development, and therapeutic evaluation of medicinal plants and their bioactive constituents.

The scope includes:

• Medicinal Botany and Pharmacobotany - identification, authentication, taxonomy, morphology, anatomy, microscopy, molecular characterization, and medicinally relevant biology of plants.
• Pharmacognosy and Quality Evaluation - pharmacognostic characterization, herbal drug authentication, standardization, quality control, adulteration, and evaluation of medicinal plant materials.
• Phytochemistry and Natural Products - isolation, characterization, chemical profiling, bioactive compounds, natural products, metabolomics, and structure–activity relationships.
• Phytopharmacology - pharmacological activities and mechanisms of medicinal plants, extracts, phytochemicals, and plant-derived therapeutic agents.
• Molecular and Cellular Phytomedicine - molecular targets, cellular mechanisms, signaling pathways, biomarkers, and omics approaches relevant to phytomedicine.
• Toxicology and Safety - toxicity, adverse effects, herb–drug interactions, pharmacovigilance, contaminants, and safety assessment of medicinal plants and phytomedicines.
• Pharmaceutical Sciences and Phytopharmaceuticals - formulation, standardization, drug delivery, nano-phytomedicine, bioavailability, stability, and development of plant-derived pharmaceutical products.
• Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics - absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evaluation of phytochemicals and phytomedicines.
• Natural-Product Drug Discovery - identification of therapeutic leads, molecular targets, computational approaches, network pharmacology, and development of plant-derived therapeutic candidates.
• Ethnopharmacology and Traditional Medicine - scientifically supported investigation and validation of traditional medicinal uses of plants and herbal preparations.
• Clinical and Translational Phytomedicine - clinical studies, therapeutic efficacy, clinical safety, human intervention studies, and translation of phytomedicine research into healthcare applications.
• Evidence-Based Phytomedicine - systematic reviews, meta-analyses, scoping reviews, and evidence synthesis concerning the efficacy and safety of medicinal plants and phytotherapeutics.
• Medicinal Plant Biotechnology - biotechnology, tissue culture, molecular approaches, and production of medicinally important bioactive compounds.
