Natural Product Research

Natural Product Research, abbreviated as Nat Prod Res (ISSN: 1478-6419), is a peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to the dissemination of original research on natural products chemistry and biochemistry. The journal’s scope encompasses the isolation, structural elucidation, synthesis, and bioactivity of compounds derived from natural sources, including plants, marine organisms, and microorganisms. Main topics include phytochemistry, pharmacognosy, chemical ecology, and the biological evaluation of natural substances, with a particular emphasis on their potential therapeutic applications. The journal publishes a variety of article types, primarily original research papers and short communications, alongside occasional review articles that synthesize current knowledge in the field. The target audience comprises academic researchers, pharmaceutical scientists, and professionals in natural product discovery, medicinal chemistry, and related disciplines. Published by Taylor & Francis, Natural Product Research offers both subscription and open access options, allowing authors to make their work freely available. With a 2026 Impact Factor of 1.8000, the journal holds a JCR Quartile ranking of Q3 in the subject area of Chemistry (3区化学), positioning it as a solid, mid-tier outlet within the broader natural product and chemical research community. While not among the highest-impact journals in the field, its consistent publication record and focus on practical, compound-specific research make it a relevant resource for specialists seeking to report new natural product discoveries and bioactivity data.
