Aims and scope
Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine aims to promote the exchange of original
knowledge and research in any area of ethnobiology and ethnomedicine. Journal of
Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine invites research articles and reviews focusing on the
inextricable relationships between human cultures and nature/universe, Traditional
Environmental/Ecological Knowledge (TEK), and folk medical knowledge systems, as well as
the relevance of these for environmental, public health and nutritional policies, especially in
developing and emerging countries.
Specifically, the journal covers the following topics: ethnobotany, ethnomycology,
ethnozymology (including folk knowledge concerning fermentations), ethnozoology,
ethnoecology (including ethnopedology), ethnometereology/ethnoclimatology, ethnoastronomy,
ethnopharmacognosy, ethnomedicine, ethnoveterinary, ethnogastronomy, migrants' folk food and
medical practices, as well as other related areas in environmental, nutritional, medical and visual
anthropology. Botany-centered manuscripts must clearly indicate voucher specimens and
reference herbaria.

Editor's quote
"Ethnobiology and ethnomedicine are exciting and revolutionary multidisciplinary fields at the
center of many current debates on culturally appropriate management of the biodiversity and the
human and animal health. The Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine is a very timely
initiative to foster a common platform devoted to scientists, practitioners, environmentalists, and
policy makers for investigating cultural perceptions and cognition of the natural world and of
disease and illness, as well as their meaning for comprehensive environmental and public health
policies."
Professor Andrea Pieroni, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine
