【译文】传统知识是指体现传统生活方式的原住民和地方社区的知识、创新和实践；它是在许多代人对土地、自然资源和环境的整体传统科学利用中发展起来的智慧。这种知识通常通过口头传承，代代相传，大部分没有书面记录。传统知识是有效且必要的，并期待其在当前更广泛的应用中为人类带来益处。印度科学传播与信息资源国家研究院，CSIR感到有必要以跨学科期刊的形式记录该领域的最新发展和信息。《印度传统知识杂志》将发表关于植物、动物和矿物材料在传统医疗系统（如阿育吠陀、锡达、瑜伽、乌纳尼、自然疗法、顺势疗法、民间疗法等）中使用的生物活性的原创研究论文、综述文章、简报等。为了验证本土主张，它将涵盖民族生物学、民族医学、民族药理学、民族药理学与功效的临床研究。
