Pharmacological research on natural products, due to its relevance to drug discovery, therapeutics and understanding of disease mechanisms, certainly has the potential to lead to publications in journals indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI). The impact factor of a journal, which is a measurement of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year or period, is determined by various factors such as the quality of research published, editorial standards, audience and market relevance, among others.
However, whether a specific study gets published in an SCI-indexed journal, and the resultant impact factor, is dependent not only on the field of research but also the novelty, robustness and significance of the specific study, as well as the journal's scope and editorial decisions. Therefore, while the field of pharmacological research on natural products definitely holds potential, the outcomes would depend on a variety of factors. It's always best to focus on conducting and presenting high-quality, novel and significant research. |
