Systems Ethnopharmacology and Sustainable Bioresources (SESB) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing research at the intersection of ethnopharmacology, ecological stewardship, sustainability science, and modern pharmacology through a systems-thinking lens.<\/p>\n
The 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.<\/p>\n
SESB aligns with global sustainability priorities, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and encourages rigorous, ethical, and community-centered research that strengthens both scientific credibility and ecological responsibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAims & Scope<\/h3>\n\nThe journal welcomes original research, reviews, community-engaged studies,
\npolicy analyses, and letters to the editor that:<\/p>\n
\n- Integrate methodologies and perspectives from biological, chemical, ecological, computational and social sciences with traditional and Indigenous knowledge systems.<\/li>\n
- Explore sustainable sourcing, conservation strategies, ecosystem restoration, climate resilience and One Health approaches.<\/li>\n
- Advance natural product discovery, characterisation and validation using metabolomics, proteomics, bioactivity-guided fractionation, cheminformatics, network pharmacology and systems biology.<\/li>\n
- Apply artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), deep learning, predictive modelling, data mining and knowledge graphs.<\/li>\n
- Develop transparent and responsible value chains for medicinal plants and bioresources.<\/li>\n
- Contribute to emerging domains such as bioeconomy, nutrieconomy, blue bioresources and microbial resources.<\/li>\n
- Address the Nagoya Protocol, CBD, CARE Principles and Indigenous data governance.<\/li>\n
- Foster interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers, traditional healers, healthcare professionals, policymakers and allied sectors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
