About the Journal

Phytopharmacological Communications is a biannual, peer-reviewed, open-access journal published online and in print that includes studies investigating the use of plants and their biological and pharmacological effects based on the principles of skeptical inquiry and the scientific method through in vitro, in vivo, and/or in silico approaches. Key areas of interest are pharmacology, toxicology, and the clinical applications of herbs and natural products in medicine, including studies of herb-drug interactions and other aspects of the safety of herbal medicines. Papers concerned with the effects of common food ingredients and standardized plant extracts, including commercial products, are particularly welcome, as are mechanistic studies on isolated natural phytocompounds. The journal accepts manuscripts reporting the medicinal properties of plants from all over the world but prefers the exploration of indigenous medicinal plants of Pakistan and the sub-continent.

The journal is published biannually, with the first issue in January-June, while the second issue is published between July-December of that year.
