Publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc., The Physiological Society (TPS) and The American Physiological Society (APS) have announced their partnership to publish the new open access peer-reviewed journal, Physiological Reports, which will launch early next year.
Physiological Reports will offer peer-reviewed research across all areas of basic, translational and clinical physiology and allied disciplines for physiologists, neuroscientists, biophysicists and clinicians. The journal will serve as the first fully open access online-only journal for The American Physiological Society and The Physiological Society, and joins their combined prestigious portfolio of peer-reviewed print and online subscription-based scientific journals, such as the American Journal of Physiology, The Journal of Physiology, and Experimental Physiology.
Dr. Susan Wray of the University of Liverpool, UK, will serve as the Editor-in-Chief of the journal. Dr. Thomas Kleyman of the University of Pittsburgh, USA, has been named deputy Editor-in-Chief.
The journal will publish articles under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) License enabling authors to be fully compliant with open access requirements of funding organisations. All articles will be published as fully open access on Wiley Online Library and deposited in PubMed Central immediately upon publication.
A publication fee will be payable by authors on acceptance of their articles. The first 100 papers accepted for publication will be published free of charge. Authors affiliated with, or funded by, an organisation that has a Wiley Open Access Account can publish without directly paying any publication charges.
