- Editorial: therapeutic potential of propolis-from in vitro studies to clinical trialsPublication . Bobis, Otilia; Berretta, Andresa Aparecida; Vilas-Boas, Miguel; De Jong, DavidPropolis is a natural product made by bees from bioactive plant exudates and/or resins, which they employ to protect their colony health and integrity (Ghisalberti, 1979; Simone- Finstrom and Spivak, 2010). Taking their cue from the bees, man has been harvesting and using this product for thousands of years, across many civilizations, stimulated by empirical knowledge concerning its efficacy as a medically useful product (Berretta et al., 2020). More recently, the development of analytical methods and modern extraction processes has led to numerous studies regarding the chemical composition and diversity of propolis, and to a better understanding of its therapeutic properties (Bankova et al., 2019). There are numerous scientific publications showing the antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, and other biological properties of propolis, especially in vitro and animal models (Machado et al., 2012; Berretta et al., 2013; Hori et al., 2013; Salatino, 2022).
- The Journal of Apicultural Research welcomes the publication of research findings from around the globePublication . Parejo, Melanie; Alippi, Adriana M.; Bobis, Otilia; Broodschneider, Robert; Harris, Vanessa Corby; Dimou, Maria; Duangphakdee, Orawan; Gajda, Anna; Henriques, Dora; Kandemir, Irfan; Pickard, Robert; Rangel, Juliana; Roberts, Stuart; Soroker, Victoria; Stevanovic, Jevrosima; Bouga, MariaThe Journal of Apicultural Research (JAR) is a peer-reviewed, scientific journal dedicated to examining and publishing the latest research on bees from around the world. JAR publishes many different types of articles to reach different international audiences, from career scientists to students and well-informed beekeepers. These comprise original, theoretical, and experimental research papers, as well as authoritative notes, comments, and reviews on scientific aspects of all types of bees (superfamily Apoidea). As of 2021, JAR has an Impact Factor of 2.407 and is ranked 33rd out of 100 in the Entomology category (© InCites Journal Citation Reports®, Clarivate Analytics, 2022). Five regular issues are published per year and special issues are added when timely topics arise, the latest being a special issue on stingless bees (2022) and review papers (2023). In the last decade, COLOSS BEEBOOK chapters are published in JAR. These open-access chapters are a collection of the Standard Methods used in honey bee research, including the study of parasites, pests, and hive products. They are a primary reference resource for bee researchers across the globe and facilitate new projects that might not otherwise be undertaken by laboratories that are new to apidology (236,516 downloads - Taylor & Francis 3,028 citations - Web of Science, 2022). The Journal of Apicultural Research was founded by the International Bee Research Association (IBRA) in 1962. The very first issue included a Note from the first Editors, Dr. Eva Crane & Dr. James Simpson, who introduced JAR as a new opportunity for publication: “The journal will cover all aspects of bees, Apis and non-Apis, and substances used or produced by them, their pollinating activities, and organisms causing diseases or injuries to them.” Since the first issue, this legacy has been maintained in more than 2,800 scientific articles, co-authored by some 1,900 researchers, published so far in JAR, making our journal a key forum for the international exchange of scientific data in apidology. We encourage colleagues from around the globe to continue to participate in sharing their research with the scientific community by publishing in JAR.
