Journal of Asian Natural Products Research

The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (J Asian Nat Prod Res, ISSN 1028-6020) is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the advancement of research on natural products originating from Asia. Its scope encompasses the isolation, structural elucidation, synthesis, and biological evaluation of natural compounds derived from plants, microorganisms, and marine organisms endemic to the Asian region. The journal places particular emphasis on the pharmacological potential and chemical diversity of these products, covering topics such as bioactivity-guided fractionation, structure-activity relationships, and mechanistic studies relevant to drug discovery and development. It publishes original research articles, comprehensive review articles, and short communications that present novel findings or critical analyses. The primary target audience includes academic researchers, pharmacognosists, medicinal chemists, pharmacologists, and professionals in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. Published by Taylor & Francis, the journal offers both traditional subscription and open access options to accommodate diverse author and reader needs. With a 2026 Impact Factor of 1.6000 and a JCR Quartile ranking of Q3 in the subject area of 4区医学 (Chinese Academy of Sciences classification for Medicine, Zone 4), the journal maintains a steady presence within the natural products field. While not among the highest-tier publications, it serves as a specialized venue for disseminating regionally focused natural product research, providing a platform for studies that highlight the unique chemical and therapeutic resources of Asia. Its consistent indexing and moderate impact factor reflect its stable standing and continued relevance to researchers seeking to publish findings on Asian natural products.
