Phytomedicine

Phytomedicine is primarily a therapy-oriented Journal. Phytomedicine publishes innovative studies on efficacy, safety, quality and mechanisms of action of specified plant extracts, phytopharmaceuticals and their isolated constituents. This includes clinical, pharmacological, pharmacokinetic, and toxicological studies of specified herbal medicinal products, herbal preparations and purified compounds which have a defined and consistent quality assuring reproducible pharmacological activity. Phytomedicine was founded in 1994 to focus and stimulate research in this particular field and to set internationally accepted scientific standards for pharmacological studies, proof of clinical efficacy and safety of phytomedicines. The main aims of Phytomedicine are associated with the integration of phytopreparations into conventional/official medicine. The journal covers the following sections: Clinical pharmacology and toxicology (randomized, placebo controlled, double blind, and observational open label studies) Behavioural, mental, affective, and stress-associated disorders Age-associated disorders Neuropharmacology Endocrine pharmacology Metabolic syndrome and obesity Cancer Immunopharmacology, inflammation Infectious diseases Pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and urogenital diseases Systems biology Safety assessment, pre-clinical toxicology, interaction with drugs and adverse events of herbal preparations Pharmacokinetic of natural compounds Standardization of herbal preparations Legislation of botanicals Invited reviews.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
