• The journal is affiliated with the Phytochemical Society of Europe and the Phytochemical Society of North America, and many collections grow out of their annual meetings该刊与欧洲植物化学学会（Phytochemical Society of Europe）及北美植物化学学会（Phytochemical Society of North America）合作，多部论文合辑源自两学会年会。
• Editorship later passed to Francisco A. Macias of the University of Cadiz and De-Yu Xie of North Carolina State University, reflecting the society ties on both sides of the Atlantic主编职务后由加的斯大学（University of Cadiz）的 Francisco A. Macias 与北卡罗来纳州立大学（North Carolina State University）的 De-Yu Xie 接任，体现跨大西洋的学会联系。
• The Journal Impact Factor rose from 5.374 in 2021 to 7.741 in 2022, stood at 7.6 in 2024 and 6.3 in 2025, with a five-year Journal Impact Factor of 8.7其影响因子由 2021 年的 5.374 升至 2022 年的 7.741，2024 年为 7.6，2025 年为 6.3，五年影响因子为 8.7。
• The journal runs a hybrid open access model with Open Choice, counts more than 200 open access articles, and has moved to continuous article publishing该刊采用含开放获取选项（Open Choice）的混合出版模式，已有超过 200 篇开放获取论文，并转向连续论文出版模式。
