Abstract

Publication of the 100th issue of the Journal of Ethnopharmacology offers a strategic juncture to reflect on what, intellectually and practically, substantiates ethnopharmacology as a domain of inquiry and what its future might be. We characterize ethnopharmacology through the diversity of its practitioners, and review critiques that challenge researchers to set their sights on a theory-driven and context-sensitive study of the pharmacologic potential of species used by indigenous peoples for medicine, food, and other purposes. The conclusion suggests themes that will inspire an integrated, transdisciplinary ethnopharmacology for the future.

摘要

《民族药理学杂志》第100期的出版提供了一个战略契机，以反思在学术和实践层面上，是什么证实了民族药理学作为一个研究领域的地位，以及它的未来可能走向何方。我们通过民族药理学从业者的多样性来描述这一领域，并回顾了一些批评意见，这些意见促使研究人员将目光投向对土著民族用于医药、食物及其他用途的物种的药理潜力进行理论驱动且结合具体情境的研究。结论部分提出了一些主题，这些主题将为未来综合的、跨学科的民族药理学提供启发。
