APS Peer-Reviewed Journals & Publications
The American Physiological Society publishes both journals and books as a nonprofit publisher. The APS publications are among the most respected and frequently cited in the world.
There are 14 scholarly, peer-reviewed journals covering specialized aspects of physiology. Eleven of the journals are published monthly. All told, APS publishes some 3,800 original peer-reviewed articles annually, totaling approximately 40,000 pages per year.
The American Journal of Physiology - Cell Physiology is dedicated to innovative approaches to the study of cell and molecular physiology. Contributions that use cellular and molecular approaches to shed light on mechanisms of physiological control at higher levels of organization also appear regularly.
The American Journal of Physiology - Endocrinology and Metabolism publishes original, mechanistic studies on the physiology of endocrine and metabolic systems. Molecular, subcellular and cellular studies in whole animals or humans; and novel molecular, immunological or biophysical studies of hormone action are also featured.
The American Journal of Physiology - Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology publishes original articles pertaining to all aspects of research involving normal or abnormal function of the gastrointestinal tract, hepatobiliary system and pancreas.
The American Journal of Physiology - Heart and Circulatory Physiology focuses on the physiology of the heart, blood vessels and lymphatics, including experimental and theoretical studies of cardiovascular function at all levels of organization ranging from the intact animal to the cellular, subcellular and molecular levels.
The American Journal of Physiology - Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology covers the broad scope of molecular, cellular and integrative aspects of normal and abnormal function of cells and components of the respiratory system. Articles pertaining to translational physiology, bridging the gap between physiology and patient care, also appear in this journal.
The American Journal of Physiology - Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology highlights normal or abnormal regulation and integration of physiological mechanism at all levels of biological organizations, ranging from molecules to humans. Major areas of emphasis include regulation in genetically modified animals, the use of model organisms and comparative functional genomics. Papers on regulation, integration and homeostasis in health and disease are the focus of this journal.
The American Journal of Physiology - Renal Physiology is dedicated to a broad range of subjects relating to the kidney, urinary tract, and their respective cells and vasculature, as well as the control of body fluid volume and composition. Papers on the pathophysiological basis of diseases processes of these organs, and regulation of body fluids appear regularly.
The American Journal of Physiology - Consolidated; Physiological Genomic is published in two monthly volumes to include approximately 2,600 articles annually. This journal comprises the seven Journals of the APS described above.
Journal of Applied Physiology deals with diverse areas of research in applied physiology, especially adaptive and integrative mechanisms. Adaptive physiology includes 1) inherent adaptations such as those related to development, aging, and pathophysiological conditions and 2) adaptations to the external environment such as those occurring with exercise, microgravity, hypoxia, hypo- and hyperbaria, and hypo- and hyperthermic conditions. Integrative physiology includes 1) horizontal integration across organ systems and 2) vertical integration from molecule to cell to organ.
Journal of Neurophysiology includes articles on all levels of function of the nervous system, from the membrane and cell to systems and behavior.
Physiological Reviews provides state of the art coverage of timely issues in the physiological and biomedical sciences. Topics are covered in a broad and comprehensive manner, and the articles are very useful in teaching and research, as they provide clearly written updates on important new developments.
Physiology publishes invited review articles written by leaders in their fields. The journal also publishes shorter articles that present important emerging topics and technologies or differing points of view. It also highlights and summarizes some of the most exciting new papers in physiology.
Advances in Physiology Education promotes and disseminates educational scholarship in order to enhance teaching and learning of physiology, neuroscience and pathophysiology. It includes peer-reviewed descriptions of innovations that improve teaching in the classroom and laboratory, essays on education, and review articles based on our current understanding of physiological mechanisms.
The Physiologist, the newsletter of the American Physiological Society, features articles on Society affairs and announcements, as well as articles of importance to today’s physiology.
APS Legacy Content goes back to the first issue of each of the APS journals from 1898 to 1996-1998, depending on the journal. It includes APS’s first journal in 1898, the American Journal of Physiology, and is available online only.
Each of these journals is published both online and in print unless noted otherwise. The articles published in these journals also appear in scientific web blogs, on other websites, and in the media nationally.

Famous quotes containing the words journals and/or publications:
“Could slavery suggest a more complete servility than some of these journals exhibit? Is there any dust which their conduct does not lick, and make fouler still with its slime?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Dr. Calder [a Unitarian minister] said of Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on the publications of Boswell and Mrs. Piozzi, that he was like Actaeon, torn to pieces by his own pack.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
