Channels

Channels is a peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to the comprehensive study of ion channels, published bimonthly by Taylor & Francis in the United States under ISSN 1933-6950. The journal encompasses a wide spectrum of research topics, ranging from the structural biology and functional mechanisms of ion channels to their regulatory pathways and critical roles in both physiological and pathological processes, with a particular emphasis on applications in cardiovascular, neurological, and oncological contexts. Operating under a hybrid open access model, Channels serves as a platform for both basic and clinical investigations, catering to researchers and clinicians interested in the molecular underpinnings of channelopathies and related diseases. While the journal maintains a moderate standing in the academic community and is not currently indexed in the SCI database or listed in the CAS journal ranking, it provides a specialized venue for scholars in the ion channel field to disseminate their findings, though authors are advised to consider its limited impact factor and indexing status when evaluating its suitability for their specific publication goals.
