About

We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Pharmacology 'Women in Ethnopharmacology' series of article collections.

At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.

Therefore, Frontiers in Pharmacology is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of Ethnopharmacology.

The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Ethnopharmacology research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.

This Research Topic is open to submissions that focus on, but is not limited to, the following themes:

• Traditional medicine; their uses and applications from around the world.
• Ethnopharmacology in the context of global research development.
• Herbal medicines and their use in women's health.
• The interface of food and medicine, and nutrition in ethnopharmacology.
• Roles of women and mothers in the preservation of traditional medicine, as healers, collectors of herbs, active consumers of traditional remedies, etc.

Please note: to be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman.

All the manuscripts submitted to the collection will need to fully comply with the Four Pillars of Best Practice in Ethnopharmacology (you can freely download the full version here).). We also expect that the MS follow the standards established in the ConPhyMP statement Front. Pharmacol. 13:953205.
