“Traditional knowledge" is employed to mean knowledge, innovations and 
practices of indigenous and local communities embodying traditional 
life-styles; the wisdom developed over many generations of holistic 
traditional scientific utilization of the lands, natural resources, and 
environment. It is generally passed down by word of mouth, from 
generation to generation and is, for the most part, undocumented. 
Traditional knowledge is valid and necessary, and awaits its currently 
relevant wider application for human benefit.

Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge (IJTK), the journal devoted 
exclusively to Traditional Knowledge, provides an excellent platform for 
publication of research papers related to Traditional Knowledge Systems.

IJTK carries original research papers, review articles, short 
communications based on traditional wisdom. The journal covers papers on 
Traditional Knowledge in the following main areas: (i) Traditional 
Agriculture; (ii) Traditional Animal husbandry; (iii) Traditional 
Architecture; (iv) Traditional Foods & Beverages; (v) Traditional 
Handicrafts and Handlooms; (vi) Traditional Medicine; (vii) Indian 
Systems of Medicine, and other related aspects.

IJTK committed and dedicated to the preservation, documentation, and 
dissemination of Traditional Knowledge, attempts to bring the wisdom of 
the past to the present.
