Journal of Natural Products is a peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing research on the chemistry and biochemistry of compounds derived from biological sources. The journal serves as a venue for original research, reviews, and methods linking interdisciplinary work across organic chemistry, pharmacognosy, and natural product biosynthesis. It interfaces with researchers associated with institutions such as Harvard University, University of California, Berkeley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, and Scripps Research.
The journal traces institutional roots to publishing efforts by learned societies and publishers including American Chemical Society, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and early 20th-century periodicals that paralleled output from laboratories at Rockefeller University, Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, and University of Michigan. Over decades it intersected with milestones associated with discoveries at Penicillin-era laboratories, collaborations involving researchers from Royal Society, Max Planck Society, Pasteur Institute, and industrial research at Pfizer, Eli Lilly and Company, Merck & Co., and GlaxoSmithKline. Editorial stewardship drew contributors affiliated with awards such as the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, National Medal of Science, and honors from the American Chemical Society.
The journal publishes articles on isolation, structural elucidation, total synthesis, biosynthesis, and bioactivity testing relevant to marine, terrestrial, and microbial natural products studied at institutions like Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Smithsonian Institution, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Subject matter aligns with methodologies developed at California Institute of Technology, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, ETH Zurich, and University of Tokyo, including spectroscopic techniques refined by researchers associated with Royal Institution laboratories and instrumentation companies tied to Bruker and Thermo Fisher Scientific. Contributions often cite work connected to named compounds, landmark syntheses, and bioassays used by teams from National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, Wellcome Trust, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
The editorial board comprises academics and industry scientists drawn from universities and organizations such as University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Wisconsin–Madison, Yale University, Princeton University, University of Texas at Austin, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and European Molecular Biology Laboratory. Peer review processes mirror standards practiced by journals at Nature Research, Science (journal), Cell Press, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Angewandte Chemie, employing anonymous reviewers who are often principal investigators from research groups at University of Sydney, National University of Singapore, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Seoul National University, and University of São Paulo.
The journal is indexed in major bibliographic services and citation databases including Web of Science, Scopus, Chemical Abstracts Service, PubMed, and Medline. Abstracting and indexing support discoverability alongside coverage in resources operated by Clarivate, Elsevier, National Center for Biotechnology Information, British Library, and Library of Congress. Citation metrics appear in reports compiled by organizations such as Institute for Scientific Information and are used by institutions evaluating research outputs like University of California campuses, University of Oxford, and national funding agencies including National Science Foundation and European Research Council.
The journal follows a hybrid publication model combining subscription access and author-paid open access options, consistent with policies used by publishers including Wiley, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, and Elsevier. Manuscript submission systems are similar to platforms maintained by Editorial Manager and ScholarOne, with copyright and licensing considerations framed by guidance from Creative Commons and institutional repositories such as PubMed Central and university digital archives at Harvard Library and MIT Libraries.
The journal's impact is assessed through citation indices, download statistics, and recognition by professional societies including American Society of Pharmacognosy, Society for Natural Products, American Chemical Society Division of Organic Chemistry, and international bodies like International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. Key articles have influenced drug-discovery programs at organizations such as Roche, Novartis, Bayer, AbbVie, and academic translational centers like Dana–Farber Cancer Institute and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Reviews in the journal are frequently cited in textbooks published by presses including Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and Springer.
