Open access ensures your mechanistic research reaches physiologists, systems biologists, and educators worldwide, maximizing scientific impact and citation potential.
All submissions undergo stringent expert review evaluating experimental design, methodological rigor, data quality, and mechanistic interpretation to maintain scientific excellence.
Articles are freely accessible globally, facilitating knowledge dissemination, educational use, and collaborative advancement of physiological science without barriers.
Streamlined submission and review processes ensure mechanistic discoveries are published promptly, reaching the scientific community without unnecessary delays.
IPJ maintains rigorous editorial standards ensuring published research meets high benchmarks for experimental quality, mechanistic insight, and reproducibility. All manuscripts undergo single-blind peer review by expert physiologists who evaluate study design, methodology, data analysis, and interpretation. Authors may request double-blind review when appropriate.
- Initial Screening: Editorial assessment for scope alignment, experimental design quality, and ethical compliance.
- Expert Review: Evaluation by 2-3 specialist reviewers examining methodology, data quality, statistical analysis, and mechanistic conclusions.
- Editorial Decision: Decisions based on scientific merit, mechanistic novelty, reproducibility, and contribution to physiological understanding.
- Revision Support: Constructive feedback helps authors strengthen manuscripts regardless of outcome.
- Quality Assurance: Accepted manuscripts undergo copyediting, figure optimization, and metadata verification before publication.
IPJ welcomes original research papers, comprehensive reviews, and methodological reports advancing physiological understanding. Manuscripts must present original mechanistic research, be written in English, and follow journal formatting standards. All submissions must demonstrate experimental rigor, appropriate controls, statistical validity, and ethical compliance.
