International Journal of Secondary Metabolite

Aims & Scope

The International Journal of Secondary Metabolite (IJSM) aims at the publication of articles related to secondary metabolites of plant and allied organisms (algae, fungi, and lichens). IJSM is an open-access, international peer-reviewed academic journal published quarterly and electronically. The major goal of the journal is to improve the research culture and help spread knowledge rapidly in the academic world by providing a common academic platform in the scope of the journal. IJSM publishes 4 issues per year (March, June, September, and December) in English, and accepts manuscripts related to secondary metabolites of plant and allied organisms (algae, fungi, and lichens). IJSM also accepts studies on primary metabolites such as proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates and fats. Research areas covered in the journal are phytochemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, ethnopharmacology, biological and pharmacological activities (Antimicrobial activity, Antioxidant activity, Antiulcer activity, Anti-convulsant activity, Anti-anxiety activity, Antidiabetic activity, Anti-gout activity, Antiprotozoal activity, Anti-inflammatory activity, Antispasmodic activity, Antiparasitic activity, Anti-mutagenic activity, Anticholinesterase activity, Antidepressant activity, Hepatoprotective activity, Anti-anxiety activity, Anti-convulsant activity, Anti-spasmolytic activity, Anticancer activity). IJSM welcomes the submission of manuscripts that meet the general criteria of significance and scientific excellence. Authors are required to frame their research questions and discuss their results in terms of major questions in plant biology. Contribution is open to researchers of all nationalities.
