中医药作为我国的传统医学，为中华民族的繁荣昌盛做出了巨大的贡献。但是，西方把重分析、重实证的思维方式看作是唯一的科学思维方式。由于中医药的系统整体思维、阴阳平衡理论无法得到实证，一度被认为是伪科学。随着科学的发展，西方对中医药文化的接受度较之以前要高，在SCI领域出现了专门接受中医药相关研究的杂志，称之为补充替代医学（Integrative & Complementary Medicine）。现在，我们将对这一类杂志分系列进行介绍。
上一次我们介绍了JCR一区和二区杂志，此次将介绍JCR三区杂志，一共有7份。

The Journal of Herbal Medicine is a peer reviewed journal which aims to serve its readers as an authoritative resource on the profession and practice of herbal medicine. The content areas of the journal reflect the interests of Medical Herbalists and other health professionals interested in the clinical and professional application of botanical medicines. The objective is to strengthen the research and educational base of herbal medicine with research papers in the form of case studies, original research articles and reviews, monographs, clinical trials and relevant in vitro studies. It also publishes policy statements, opinion pieces, book reviews, conference proceedings and profession related information such as pharmacovigilance reports providing an information source for not only the Herbal Practitioner but any Health professional with an interest in phytotherapy.
Potentially the premier journal in its field, the journal welcomes papers that stimulate research and interest in herbal medicine education and practice that disseminate information about its clinical tradition, best practices, skills and knowledge, e.g. in the area of
Traditional medicine, ethnobotany and western herbal medicine
Herbal therapeutics, phytomedicine and herbal preparations
Medicinal plants in healthcare, clinical trials and pilot studies
Biological and pharmacological effects of plant extracts
Medicinal plants and their anti-inflammatory, anti-cholesterol, hypotensive, antispasmodic, anti-diabetic, anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal activity.
We do not publish papers whereby the focus and primary experimental method involves the use of animals that only focus on in vitro studies relating to antioxidant activity.

Reporting Research that involves Animal Experimentation
For research involving animal experimentation, the recognised standards are as detailed by the EU Directive 2010/63/EU for animal experiments. In accordance with this EU Directive, the editors require that the benefits potentially derived from research involving animals are significant in relation to any harm endured by the animals.
Authors must particularly ensure that their research complies with the commonly-accepted '3Rs': (1) Replacement of animals by alternatives wherever possible; (2) Reduction in number of animals used; (3) Refinement of experimental conditions and procedures to minimise the harm to animals.
Papers will only be accepted for publication if authors can confirm that: The research conforms to the standards set out in EU Directive 2010/63/EU for animal experiments and there is clear indication in the manuscript that this is the case.
The research proposal went through a process of ethical review prior to the study commencing; this must include a weighing of the likely adverse effects on the animals against the benefits likely to result from the work.
The potential for application of the 3Rs was rigorously analysed prior to starting, and that every opportunity was taken during the course of the study to implement each of them; this includes analysis of alternative research strategies that could potentially be used to address the research question and that would not involve the use of animals.
Animal husbandry and care was in accordance with EU Directive 2010/63/EU for animal experiments.
All individuals involved with the care and use of animals were trained and skilled to an acceptable level of competency, with euthanasia carried out according to contemporary best practice.
Appropriate anaesthesia and analgesia were used to minimise pain and distress, and humane end-points were defined and implemented where appropriate.

十八、ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES IN HEALTH AND MEDICINE
ISSN: 1078-6791 IF (2019): 0.937 收稿量7

Scope
Original research is often but not always a randomized clinical trial (RCT). Intervention studies, cohort studies, case-control studies, epidemiologic assessments, observational studies reported according to the STROBE guidelines (www.strobe-statement.org ), and surveys are other examples of original research. A clinical trial is a study that prospectively (and often randomly) assigns human participants to intervention or comparison groups to evaluate the cause-and-effect relationship between an intervention and an outcome. All clinical trials must be registered before submission of a manuscript based on the trial, and the registration information should be included along with the submission. Trial registries include but are not limited to the following: http://www.actr.org.au/ ; http://www.clinicaltrials.gov ; http://isrctn.org/ ; and http://www.trialregister.nl/trialreg/index.asp . All randomized clinical trials should include a CONSORT flow diagram and checklist (available at http://www.consort-statement.org/index.aspx?o=1030 ).
Ethics
When human experimentation is being reported, include a statement to confirm that the work was done in accordance with the appropriate institutional review body and carried out with the ethical standards set forth in the Helsinki Declaration of 1975. When laboratory animals are used, there should be a statement that the work was carried out according to the National Research Council's protocol for, or any national law on, the care and use of laboratory animals.
