The Journal of Physiology is a biweekly peer-reviewed scientific journal established in 1878, published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of The Physiological Society.
The Journal of Physiology publishes original research that elucidates new physiological principles or mechanisms. It publishes papers in all areas of physiology, with an emphasis on human and mammalian physiology, including work at the molecular level, at the level of the cell membrane, single cells, tissues or organs and systems physiology. The Journal is produced both on paper and online. All accepted "in press" articles are first published online, ahead of print, and issues become freely accessible 12 months after publication.[1][2] The full archive back to 1878 is freely available online. The current editor-in-chief is David J. Paterson.
Through The Journal of Physiology, The Physiological Society funds a number of sponsored symposia - usually during major international research conferences - every year. Talks from these symposia are usually published in a special symposium issue of The Journal.
According to the Journal Citation Reports, The Journal of Physiology has a 2010 impact factor of 5.139.
