It is our great pleasure to announce that Medicinal Plant Biology has been included in Web of Science: Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). This inclusion represents global recognition by the academic and publishing community of the journal's high quality and growth prospects, and is a significant milestone in strengthening the journal's academic discourse and impact. After being indexed in ESCI, all articles in this journal from 2022 onwards will be searchable and citable by readers around the world in Web of Science. This achievement not only enhances articles visibility, but also positions them for potential indexing in higher-level databases such as the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).
As an open-access journal, we are committed to promoting open-access content to a broader academic community, with dissemination through the WoS database being an indispensable component of this effort.
