About the journal
|
Fitoterapia is an international journal publishing original research in chemistry, pharmacology and use of medicinal plants and their derivatives.
The journal accepts Reviews, Full Papers, Short Reports, Phytochemical Communications, Safety Data Reviews and Book Reviews. Reviews can be full-length state-of-the-art articles or mini reviews providing a short overview of a particular matter. Short Reports allow preliminary, concise reporting of pharmacological activities. Results of antibacterial and antifungal screenings are published as Short Reports only. Phytochemical Communications are brief contributions on the isolation of known products from new plant sources (original contribution, such as unpublished spectral data or new activity, is required) or new simple products identified on the basis of spectral data. Safety Data Reviews are open to contributions from members of official international committees.
Historical background on Fitoterapia can be found at the Indena SpA site.

Instructions to Authors
Fitoterapia is an international journal publishing original research in chemistry, pharmacology and use of medicinal plants and their derivatives.
The journal accepts Reviews, Full Papers, Short Reports, Phytochemical Communications, Safety Data Reviews and Book Reviews. Reviews can be full-length state-of-the-art articles or mini-reviews providing a short overview of a particular matter. Short Reports allow preliminary, concise reporting of pharmacological activities. Results of antimicrobial and antifungal screening are published as Short Reports only. Phytochemical Communications are brief contributions on the isolation of known products from new plant sources (original contribution, such as unpublished spectral data or new activity, is required) or new simple products identified on the basis of spectral data. Safety Data Reviews are open to contributions from members of official international committees.
All contributions must be submitted in English. Specific guidelines apply to Short Reports and Phytochemical Communications; please see below. When submitting a Review, authors are requested to consult with the Editors in advance.
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in triplicate (one original and two copies) to the Editor-in-Chief:
Professor F. Pelizzoni

Authors must submit an electronic version together with their manuscript. The electronic version of the manuscripts can best be submitted in the form of a PC compatible diskette or by email, indicating the type of computer and word processing package used. A winword (.doc) or Rich Text format (.rtf) saved files are the most suitable formats that should be used.
All manuscripts submitted are subject to peer review. The minimum requirements for a manuscript to qualify for peer review are that it has been prepared by strictly following the format and style of the journal as mentioned below, that it is written in good English, and that it is complete. Manuscripts that have not fulfilled these requirements will not be returned to the author(s), unless required, by the presence of unique artwork.
Contributions are accepted on the understanding that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication. Submission of multi-authored manuscripts implies the consent of each of the authors. The publisher will assume that the senior or corresponding author has specifically obtained the approval of all other co-authors to submit the article to this journal. Submission of an article is understood to imply that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere and that the author(s) permission to publish his/her article in this journal implies the exclusive authorization to the publisher to deal with all issues concerning copyright therein. Further information on copyright can be found on the preliminary pages of the journal issue.
It is expected from the authors that they submit only data that have arisen from animal experimentation carried out in an ethically proper way by following guidelines as set by the World Health Organization. The Editors will not accept manuscripts which violate these principles.
Manuscripts should be neatly typed, double spaced throughout, including tables, on pages of uniform size with at least 3 cm margins on all sides. Authors should not break or hyphenate words at the end of the sentence. Words like anti-inflammatory can have a hyphen. Footnotes in text are not permitted.
All manuscripts (Reviews, Full Papers, Short Reports, Phytochemical Communications, Safety Data Reviews) must include:
1. Title: The title must be as brief as possible, comprehensive and descriptive; forename, initials of other forenames, surname, and address of each Author; a clear indication of who is the Corresponding Author (one) and their e-mail address;
2. Summary: A summary should be included at the beginning of the manuscript. This summary should be factual, not descriptive, and should present the reason of the study, the main findings, and principal conclusions.
3. Keywords: 3-6 keywords are to be assigned by the authors, preferably taken from Index Medicus. These keywords should be typed at the end of the summary.
Full Papers should be divided labelled sections, e.g.: Introduction, Experimental, Results and Discussion. The section Experimental should include concise details on the methodology adopted, sufficient to repeat the experiment: Methods for which adequate reference can be cited are not to be described.
Extracts and/or fractions tested for in vitro or in vivo biological activities should be chemically defined, at least by means of the results of a phytochemical screening by classes of constituents (not required only when powdered plant material of decoctions/infusions are tested). Authors are required to include:
(i) the chemical structure, formula and proprietary name of novel or ill-defined compounds;
(ii) the w/w yield of prepared extracts and fractions or isolated compounds in terms of starting crude plant material;
(iii) complete formulation details of all crude drug mixtures;
(iv) investigated plant parts (fresh or dried drug), site and period of harvest, authentication and, in case of less well known plants, voucher herbarium specimen number and name of the herbarium institution where it has been deposited. When first cited, plants must be fully identified as in the following illustration: Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don f. albus Pich. (Apocynaceae).
Physical and spectral data should be reported according to the following example: Vincamine, mp 2333C (MeOH); [a]20d +413 (c1, py); UV max (MeOH):225 (lg I 4.14), 278 (3.61) nm; IR bands (nujol): 3530, 1740, 1623 cm 1; 1H-NMR (100MHz, CDCl3): d 0.90 (3H, b, J 7 Hz), 4.60 (1H, bs), 7 7.2 (4H, m); MS m/z: 354 (M+84%), 339 (18), 325 (23), 295 (100). (Found: C, 71.08; H, 7.42; N, 7.93. Calc. for C21H26N2O5: C, 71.16; H, 7.39; N, 7.91).
Contributions may include tables, figures, formulae, photographs or slides. Excessive use of tables, diagrams, etc. should be avoided.
Tables should be typed on separate sheets and should bear a short descriptive title. Footnotes in tables should be indicated by consecutive superscript letters.
Figures must be numbered and cited in the text. The author's name, figure number and an arrow clarifying orientation should be marked in pencil on the reverse of each illustration. Alternatively, sharp photo prints on glossy paper may be provided. Photographs should be black and white glossy prints and as rich in contrast as possible. Magnifications should be indicated by means of a ruled line on the photograph where appropriate. Legends for each figure should be typed on a separate page. One set of original drawings is required, together with three duplicate sets (photocopies). Reproduction in colour will have to be approved by the Editors.
References should be referred to by a number [1] in the text and be listed according to this numbering at the end of the paper. Only papers and books that have been published or in press may be cited; unpublished manuscripts or manuscripts submitted to a journal but which have not been accepted may not be cited.
The references should comprise the following information and in the given order and with the given punctuation as given in the example below: Author name(s), Initials(s) Publication Title, Page Number, Year of Publication.

Short Reports allow preliminary, concise reporting of pharmacological activities; results of antibacterial and antifungal screening are published as Short Reports only. Please click here for submission guidelines for short report or short report(ethno).
Please note that Elsevier Science is now sending authors PDF proofs by e-mail for correction. If an author is unable to handle this process, regular print proofs will be sent.
Upon acceptance, an offprint order form will be sent to the author(s) together with proofs. Offprints may be ordered by filling in and returning to the Publisher the order form sent to the authors with the proofs of their paper. Twenty-five offprints of each paper will be provided free of charge. Additional copies may be ordered at prices shown on the offprint order form which will be sent to the author. Offprints ordered after the journal has been printed will cost considerably more than those ordered immediately.
Authors of accepted articles which are currently in production at Elsevier Science can obtain online information on the status of their manuscripts at the Online Article Status Information System (OASIS) website. Please consult: http://www.elsevier.com/oasis
