天然產(chǎn)物研究的目的是發(fā)表在天然產(chǎn)物化學(xué)領(lǐng)域的重要貢獻(xiàn)。為了在盡可能短的時間內(nèi)出版，稿件將以相機(jī)就緒狀態(tài)被邀請出版。該雜志涵蓋了自然發(fā)生化合物的化學(xué)和生物化學(xué)研究的各個方面。通訊包括對陸地和海洋天然物質(zhì)以及植物、微生物和動物的工作的報道。關(guān)于天然產(chǎn)物的結(jié)構(gòu)解析、合成和實驗生物合成以及這些領(lǐng)域的方法發(fā)展的討論受到雜志的歡迎。最后，在化學(xué)生物學(xué)界的研究論文，如發(fā)酵化學(xué)、植物組織培養(yǎng)研究等，被收錄于該期刊。當(dāng)前影響系數(shù)為0.527。

The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. In order to be published in the shortest possible time, manuscripts are invited in camera ready state. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds. The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal. The current impact factor is 0.527.
