About the journal

Aims and scope

Journal of Physiological Anthropology (JPA) is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes research on the physiological functions of modern mankind, with an emphasis on the bio-cultural effects on human adaptability to the current environment.

The objective of JPA is to evaluate physiological adaptations to modern living environments, and to publish research from different scientific fields concerned with environmental impact on human life.

Topic areas include, but are not limited to:

  • environmental physiology
  • bio-cultural environment
  • living environment
  • epigenetic adaptation
  • development and growth
  • age and sex differences
  • nutrition and morphology
  • physical fitness and health

Journal of Physiological Anthropology is the official journal of the Japan Society of Physiological Anthropology.

Open access

All articles published by Journal of Physiological Anthropology are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication, without subscription charges or registration barriers. Further information about open access can be found here.

As authors of articles published in Journal of Physiological Anthropology you are the copyright holders of your article and have granted to any third party, in advance and in perpetuity, the right to use, reproduce or disseminate your article, according to the BioMed Central license agreement.

For those of you who are US government employees or are prevented from being copyright holders for similar reasons, BioMed Central can accommodate non-standard copyright lines. Please contact us if further information is needed.

Article-processing charges

Open access publishing is not without costs.  Journal of Physiological Anthropology  therefore levies an article-processing charge of £1000/$1565/€1275 for each article accepted for publication. If the submitting author's institution is a Member, the cost of the article-processing charge is covered by the membership, and no further charge is payable. In the case of authors whose institutions are Supporter Members, however, a discounted article-processing charge is payable by the author. We routinely waive charges for authors from low-income countries. For other countries, article-processing charge waivers or discounts are granted on a case-by-case basis to authors with insufficient funds. Authors can request a waiver or discount during the submission process. For further details, see our article-processing charge page.

All articles published in Journal of Physiological Anthropology are included in:

  • DOAJ
  • Embase
  • Google Scholar
  • MEDLINE
  • PubMed
  • PubMed Central
  • Science Citation Index Expanded
  • ​Scopus

The full text of all articles is deposited in digital archives around the world to guarantee long-term digital preservation. You can also access all articles published by BioMed Central on SpringerLink.

Peer-review policy

Journal of Physiological Anthropology operates a double-blind peer-review system, where the reviewers do not know the names or affiliations of the authors and the reviewer reports provided to the authors are anonymous.

All submitted manuscripts are evaluated by the Editor-in-Chief and suitable manuscripts are sent for peer review. The reports of at least two reviewers are considered when deciding on acceptance or rejection of a manuscript; a further reviewer is invited in cases where these reviewers disagree. The journal aims to provide authors with a first decision within six weeks. Final decisions will be made by the Editors-in-Chief.

Editorial policies

All manuscripts submitted to Journal of Physiological Anthropology should adhere to BioMed Central's editorial policies.

Citing articles in Journal of Physiological Anthropology

Articles in Journal of Physiological Anthropology  should be cited in the same way as articles in a traditional journal. Because articles are not printed, they do not have page numbers; instead, they are given a unique article number.

Article citations follow this format:

Authors: Title. J Physiol Anthropol [year], [volume number]:[article number].

e.g. Roberts LD, Hassall DG, Winegar DA, Haselden JN, Nicholls AW, Griffin JL: Increased hepatic oxidative metabolism distinguishes the action of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor delta from Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma in the Ob/Ob mouse. J Physiol Anthropol 2009, 1:115.

refers to article 115 from Volume 1 of the journal.

Appeals and complaints

If you wish to appeal a rejection or make a complaint you should, in the first instance, contact the Editor who will provide details of the journal's complaints procedure. For complaints that cannot be resolved with the Editor, the authors should contact the Publisher.

Why publish your article in Journal of Physiological Anthropology

High visibility

Journal of Physiological Anthropology 's open access policy allows maximum visibility of articles published in the journal as they are available to a wide, global audience. 

Speed of publication

Journal of Physiological Anthropology offers a fast publication schedule whilst maintaining rigorous peer review; all articles must be submitted online, and peer review is managed fully electronically (articles are distributed in PDF form, which is automatically generated from the submitted files). Articles will be published with their final citation after acceptance, in both fully browsable web form, and as a formatted PDF.

Flexibility

Online publication in Journal of Physiological Anthropology gives you the opportunity to publish large datasets, large numbers of color illustrations and moving pictures, to display data in a form that can be read directly by other software packages so as to allow readers to manipulate the data for themselves, and to create all relevant links (for example, to PubMed, to sequence and other databases, and to other articles).

Articles published in Journal of Physiological Anthropology are included in article alerts and regular email updates. Some may be highlighted on Journal of Physiological Anthropology ’s pages and on the BioMed Central homepage.

In addition, articles published in Journal of Physiological Anthropology may be promoted by press releases to the general or scientific press. These activities increase the exposure and number of accesses for articles published in Journal of Physiological Anthropology . A list of articles recently press-released by journals published by BioMed Central is available here.
