It\u2019s a first-of-its-kind international journal dedicated to holistic, evidence-based and sustainability-aligned research. <\/p>\n\n<p>\nThe journal promotes a holistic understanding of how medicinal plants, natural products, traditional knowledge systems, and traditional practices operate within dynamic biological, ecological, socio-economic, and cultural contexts that shape human and planetary health. SESB aligns with global sustainability priorities, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and encourages rigorous, ethical, and community-cantered research that strengthens both scientific credibility and ecological responsibility<\/p>\n\n<p>\nSESB is the official journal of the SFE-India and serves as its primary scholarly platform for globally relevant, ethically grounded, and interdisciplinary research on traditional medicine, natural products, and sustainable bioresources. The journal translates SFE-India\u2019s long-standing vision into peer-reviewed, internationally visible science, strengthening the credibility and global relevance of ethnopharmacology..\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"sesb-divider\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"sesb-section\" id=\"vision\">\n<h2>A Vision for the Future<\/h2>\n<p>\nTraditional knowledge, sustainability science, and AI-enabled discovery are no longer parallel pursuits. They are increasingly convergent. SESB provides the scientific and ethical foundation for this convergence by moving beyond reductionist pharmacology and embracing systems thinking.<br>\nThe journal recognizes that medicinal plants and traditional practices operate within dynamic biological networks, ecological systems, livelihoods, and cultural contexts. By aligning with the United Nations SDGs, SESB positions health research within a broader framework of planetary health, environmental responsibility, and societal well-being.\n\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sesb-section\" id=\"bridge\">\n<h2>Bridging Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science<\/h2>\n<p>\nSESB fosters interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers, traditional and Indigenous knowledge holders, healthcare professionals, conservation practitioners, policymakers, and industry stakeholders. The journal reflects SFE-India\u2019s core mission: to globalize local knowledge and localize global technologies, while safeguarding ethics, biodiversity, intellectual property, and equitable benefit-sharing.<br>\nSESB is not merely affiliated with SFE-India. It is a direct extension of the Society\u2019s intellectual, ethical, and sustainability commitments, articulated through rigorous, peer-reviewed scholarship.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sesb-section\" id=\"aims\">\n<h2>Aims and Scope<\/h2>\n<p>SESB welcomes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, perspectives, commentaries, short communications, methodological advances, and policy-oriented studies that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Integrate biological, chemical, ecological, computational, and social sciences with traditional and Indigenous knowledge systems<\/li>\n<li>Advance sustainable healthcare, biodiversity conservation, and culturally grounded innovation<\/li>\n<li>Apply systems biology, network pharmacology, metabolomics, proteomics, cheminformatics, and AI-driven discovery<\/li>\n<li>Promote transparent, responsible, and traceable value chains for medicinal plants and bioresources<\/li>\n<li>Address global governance frameworks, including the CBD, Nagoya Protocol (ABS), CARE Principles, and data sovereignty<\/li>\n<li>Strengthen ethical governance, community engagement, and fair benefit-sharing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>SESB explicitly encourages research that bridges science, culture, ecology, technology, and policy, with strong methodological rigor and ethical clarity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"sesb-divider\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"sesb-section\" id=\"themes\">\n<h2>Thematic Highlights<\/h2>\n<p>The journal covers a broad yet integrated scientific landscape, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li>Ethnopharmacology and traditional medicine systems<\/li>\n  <li>Sustainable bioresource management and conservation<\/li>\n  <li>Community knowledge, equity, and benefit-sharing<\/li>\n  <li>Systems thinking, One Health, and Planetary Health<\/li>\n  <li>Natural product discovery, validation, and mechanisms<\/li>\n  <li>Phytochemistry and bioactive compounds<\/li>\n  <li>Quality, safety, formulation, and regulatory science<\/li>\n  <li>Digital, AI-enabled, and data-driven ethnopharmacology<\/li>\n  <li>Biotechnology, biomanufacturing, and circular bioeconomy<\/li>\n  <li>Marine and microbial bioresources<\/li>\n  <li>Ethnoveterinary medicine<\/li>\n  <li>Nutrition, nutrieconomy, and preventive health<\/li>\n  <li>Climate change adaptation and resilient bioresources<\/li>\n  <li>Anthropology, social science, and knowledge transmission<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"sesb-divider\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"sesb-section\" id=\"why\">\n<h2>Why Publish in SESB?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"sesb-highlight\">\n<p><strong>Publishing in SESB equate:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li>Commitment to scientific rigor and reproducibility<\/li>\n  <li>Explicit engagement with ethics, sustainability, and governance<\/li>\n  <li>Respect for traditional and Indigenous knowledge systems<\/li>\n  <li>Contribution to policy-relevant and globally aligned science<\/li>\n  <li>Visibility within interdisciplinary and international research communities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>SESB embeds ethnopharmacology within systems science, climate research, bioeconomy, and planetary health discourse, extending impact beyond disciplinary boundaries.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"sesb-divider\"><\/div>\n<h2>Editorial Leadership<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Editor-in-Chief:<\/strong> Prof. Pulok Kumar Mukherjee<br>\nJadavpur University, Kolkata, India<\/p>\n<p>\nUnder the Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Pulok K Mukherjee\u2019s leadership, SESB emphasizes scientific rigor, interdisciplinary integration, and ethical responsibility.
