About the Journal

The Journal of Phytochemistry, Ethnobotany and Traditional Medicine Systems (JPETMS) formerly known as IPS Journal of Phytochemistry and Medicinal Plant Research is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing research in plant-based sciences and traditional medical systems with strong relevance to modern drug discovery and therapeutic innovation.

The journal publishes high-quality original research articles, comprehensive review papers, short communications, book reviews, letters to the editor, special issues, and proceedings from relevant scientific conferences.

JPETMS provides a multidisciplinary platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research in phytochemistry, ethnobotany, and traditional medicine, with a focus on translating plant-derived knowledge into scientifically validated applications in drug discovery, healthcare, and biotechnology.

The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to:

  • Phytochemistry and bioactive natural compounds
  • Phytomedicine and evidence-based herbal therapeutics
  • Phytotherapy and traditional healing systems
  • Phytopharmaceutical development and formulation sciences
  • Phytopharmacology and mechanisms of action of plant-derived agents
  • Plant biochemistry and secondary metabolite research
  • Plant sciences with medicinal relevance
  • Plant biotechnology and genetic improvement of medicinal plants
  • Ethnobotany and documentation of indigenous medicinal knowledge
  • Integration of traditional medicine systems with modern biomedical science

The journal particularly encourages interdisciplinary studies that connect traditional knowledge systems with modern experimental, computational, and translational approaches in life sciences. Submissions that demonstrate scientific validation of medicinal plants and contribute to sustainable drug discovery are highly encouraged.

Through its global platform, JPETMS aims to promote innovation in natural product research and support the integration of traditional medicine into contemporary healthcare and pharmaceutical development.
