Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine

Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine covers the exchange of innovative research across ethnobiology and ethnomedicine. The journal looks for original interdisciplinary studies on the inextricable relationships between human cultures and the environment, ie. on traditional, local, folk knowledge with ecological, nutritional, and medical relevance. In addition, the journal covers the impact of these subjects on environmental and public health an nutritional policies, especially in developing and emerging countries.

The journal does not consider articles purely focusing on phytopharmacology and phytochemistry. Ethnomedical articles must always include an ethnographical or anthropological perspective on local medicinal or food uses of plants, fungi, animals, and microbiota. Ethnomedical manuscripts must have an anthropological ethos and have to be focused on cultural interpretations and the social and cultural meanings of the presented data. The mere mention of a region, country or ethnic group in the title or abstract does not represent an anthropological ethos per se.
