🌿 The future of ethnobotany needs more than data—it needs ideas that make a difference.

Ethnobotany Research & Applications is seeing growing interest from researchers worldwide. In September 2026, ERA received 183 new submissions, published 18 articles, and had 102 manuscripts progressing through peer review.

This momentum reflects the importance of research at the intersection of people, plants, culture, biodiversity, and sustainability. It also reinforces a clear message for prospective authors: the strongest submissions do more than document knowledge—they ask timely questions, use rigorous methods, offer genuinely new insight, and show why the findings matter.

ERA is looking for research that can help shape the field: innovative ethnobotany, thoughtful interdisciplinary approaches, robust evidence, and practical relevance for conservation and sustainable use.

📌 Before you submit: make the novelty clear, follow the journal’s author guidelines carefully, use current and transparent methods, and include the required similarity report.

📢 New article in Ethnobotany Research and Applications

How does altitude shape medicinal plants and the knowledge around them? This study from Chitwan, Nepal, recorded 142 medicinal plant species from 91 families. The Chepang and Tharu communities use them to treat 70 ailments. Medicinal trees grow most densely at low elevations, while shrubs and herbs peak mid-slope. Older people hold the most knowledge, which makes passing it on to the next generation urgent.
