JOURNAL OF GENERAL PHYSIOLOGY

The Journal of General Physiology (ISSN 0022-1295) is a distinguished monthly publication based in New York, United States, and issued by the Rockefeller University Press. As a prominent venue in the field of physiology, the journal focuses on rigorous experimental and theoretical investigations into cellular and molecular mechanisms, with a particular emphasis on membrane biophysics, ion channels, and transport proteins. Its scope encompasses a broad spectrum of physiological disciplines, including neurophysiology, cardiovascular physiology, and muscle physiology, thereby serving as a critical resource for researchers dedicated to foundational physiological sciences. While the journal maintains a solid reputation for strict peer review and high editorial standards, it currently operates as a subscription-based model rather than an open-access platform. Indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the publication holds a moderate impact factor within the physiology category and is typically classified in the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal ranking in the medical or biological sciences. Consequently, it represents a significant, albeit specialized, outlet for scholars engaged in basic physiological research, offering a competitive yet respected forum for disseminating high-quality scientific findings to a targeted academic audience.
