Harnessing the Medicinal Potential of Himalayan Herbs: Pharmacological and Pharmacokinetic Studies
Submission DeadLine: 31 March 2025
The Himalayan region is known for its rich biodiversity of medicinal plants, traditionally used by indigenous communities. In recent years, Himalayan herbal medicines have gained global recognition as alternative treatments for various ailments. These herbs contain biologically active compounds that aid in disease prevention. Despite advancements in modern medicine, over 80% of medications and one-third of people in developing countries still rely on plant-based products for primary healthcare. Consequently, herbal remedies as dietary supplements are increasing due to their perceived safety, natural qualities, and cost-effectiveness.

Journal of Herbal Medicine的CAR指数
2023年3月份科睿唯安官方一次性踢除35本SCI期刊，多数涉及学术诚信问题，让我们意识到学术期刊的“被踢”指数，也很重要。目前，对于期刊的“被踢”指数，这里介绍一下：CAR指数（关于CAR的详细介绍，请关注：www.jcarindex.com），这是一种评价期刊学术诚信风险的指数，指数越高代表可能的风险越大。从数据看，Journal of Herbal Medicine不管是2023年度，还是2024年度实时的CAR指数，都是比较低的。当然，CAR指数仅供参考，期刊风险情况，需以科睿唯安或中科院预警等官方为准！
让推送更美好~
