Overview
The International Physiology Journal is an open-access scholarly journal that publishes research and scholarly writing in the field of physiology, the branch of biological science concerned with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts. Physiology examines how cells, tissues, organs, and systems operate and interact to maintain life, spanning topics such as cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, neural, endocrine, and muscular function. The discipline links basic mechanisms to clinical insight, providing the scientific foundation for understanding disease processes and informing medical practice and education. Work in this area ranges from experimental laboratory studies and quantitative modelling to reflective and educational pieces that connect core concepts to teaching and patient care. As an open-access venue, the journal makes physiological research and commentary freely available to researchers, educators, students, and clinicians. Related open-access content available here includes reflective writing on physiology that touches on core physiological concepts and experimental approaches, linking fundamental mechanisms to clinical and educational perspectives, illustrating the kind of scholarship the journal aims to disseminate within the physiological sciences.
