Information for authors

(Information updated on 8 December 2022)

The Physiological Society of Japan covers the article-processing charge (APC) for the papers submitted to the journal. The discounted APC is 1,372 USD (the currency may vary depending on the author’s country). If the author is the Society Council (Hyogi-in), the Society will cover the full APC.

To receive this benefit, authors must ensure to select the Physiological Society of Japan as the journal partner at the time of editorial acceptance of their manuscript.

As from 7 December 2022, due to system change, authors are no longer requested to submit Membership Account Code to claim coverage of APC during the process of making new manuscript submission. Instead, authors are able to request APC coverage at editorial acceptance.

See below for further information:

- Changes in manuscript submission *(in Japanese)
- To request APC coverage

For questions, please contact the Society office.

Aims and scope

The Journal of Physiological Sciences publishes peer-reviewed original papers, reviews, short communications, technical notes, and letters to the editor, based on the principles and theories of modern physiology and addressed to the international scientific community. All fields of physiology are covered, encompassing molecular, cellular and systems physiology. The emphasis is on human and vertebrate physiology, but comparative papers are also considered. The process of obtaining results must be ethically sound.

Fields covered:

Adaptation and environment
Autonomic nervous function
Biophysics
Cell sensors and signaling
Central nervous system and brain sciences
Endocrinology and metabolism
Excitable membranes and neural cell physiology
Exercise physiology
Gastrointestinal and kidney physiology
Heart and circulatory physiology
Molecular and cellular physiology
Muscle physiology
Physiome/systems biology
Respiration physiology
Senses

Featured Collection: 100 Years Progress of Physiological Research in Japan

The Japanese Physiological Society celebrated its 100th anniversary in July 2022. In commemoration of this anniversary, a special collection entitled "100 Years Progress of Physiological Research in Japan" will be published in the Journal of Physiological Sciences, as collected Open Access review articles. Editors invite the members of the Japanese Physiological Society who have made significant contributions to the development of physiological research in Japan and around the world to submit a review article for this special collection.
