About the journal
Advances in Physiology Education promotes and disseminates educational scholarship in order to enhance teaching and learning of physiology, neuroscience and pathophysiology. The journal publishes peer-reviewed descriptions of innovations that improve teaching in the classroom and laboratory, essays on education, and review articles based on our current understanding of physiological mechanisms. Submissions that evaluate new technologies for teaching and research, and educational pedagogy, are especially welcome. The audience for the journal includes educators at all levels: K-12, undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs.
Instructions to Authors
File Formats for Online Submission and Print
Please submit a Microsoft Word (.doc) file or a Rich Text Format (.rtf) file to APS Central. Separate files must be submitted for all discrete elements of the manuscript, e.g., separate files for each figure and table, separate files for supplemental material, and a separate file for the complete text of the manuscript. The manuscript file should include the abstract, all main text, bibliography, figure legends and table legends, etc.
The APS Central system will concatenate the various files into a single document for review. If the paper is accepted, the separate files will be moved forward into the final print production process.
Organization of the Manuscript
APS accepts manuscripts in one of two formats: double-spaced in wide, one-column, traditional manuscript format, or single-spaced in two-column journal format. If you choose two-column format and wish to embed copies of the figures into the text for review purposes, you may, but you must also include separate figure files for production (see Instructions for Preparing Figures). Additionally, if you choose to embed figures, any revisions to figures during review will require you to load the newly revised individual figure files to APS Central, and the copies embedded into the text must also be updated to reflect the revised figures.
The pages should be numbered in the upper right-hand corner (beginning with the first page of text). Each of these items should begin on a new page, arranged as follows:
title page
abstract and keywords
main text (introduction; Materials and/or Methods, or Experimental Procedures; Results; Discussion, with conclusions)
text footnotes
acknowledgements
references
figure legends
tables
Be sure the text is clear and concise, conforming to accepted standards of American English style and usage. Avoid jargon, clichés, and laboratory slang. Authors for whom English is not their native language are strongly encouraged to seek the aid of a professional English language editorial service.
See Elements of the Manuscript for further description.
Abbreviations, Symbols, and Terminology
All abbreviations must be explicitly defined at first usage. However, internationally accepted abbreviations do not need to be defined; please consult the list of accepted abbreviations. For word usage, symbols, etc., authors are referred to Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (6th ed., 1994). For chemical and biochemical terms and abbreviations, consult the recommendations of the IUPAC-IUB Combined Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature. Isotope specification must conform to the IUPAC system. Authors are referred to the following articles for style in specialized fields: "Glossary on respiration and gas exchange" (J Appl Physiol 34: 549-558, 1973); and "Glossary of terms for thermal physiology" (J Appl Physiol 35: 941-961, 1973).
Special Symbols
For special characters not available on the standard 104-key keyboard (e.g., Greek characters, mathematical symbols, figure symbols), use the Symbol font or use the "Insert Symbol" function in Microsoft Word; do not use Math font or image files (e.g., GIF) within the text for special characters or text constructions.
Spelling and Editorial Style
Authors should consult Webster's Third New International Dictionary or Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th edition, for spelling and compounding. The APS Journals follow American English rules for spelling. All manuscripts will be edited by highly trained professional copy editors, according to the APS house style and guidelines.
Citing Unpublished Observations, Personal Communications, and "In Press" Manuscripts
Submitted papers still in preparation or in peer review and/or any other unpublished materials, observations, or personal communications cannot be included in the reference list, which may only list published work. However, such material can be cited in the text, but letters of permission must accompany the manuscript in the following circumstances:
to publish information disclosed in a personal communication or unpublished observation;
to recognize additional individuals who helped in preparation of the manuscript;
for permission from a copyright holder to discuss information that is "in press" and not yet available, online or otherwise.
Trade Names
Proprietary (trademarked) names should be capitalized, with the spelling carefully checked. The generic name or generic descriptor accompany the trade name the first time it appears.
Genes and Proteins
When reporting on genes and proteins, be sure to follow the established style conventions of the genetics community for properly expressing gene vs. protein symbols and names.
Cell Lines and Reagents
The source of cells utilized (species, sex, strain, race, age of donor, whether primary or established) should be clearly indicated. The source of reagents should be stated (name, city, and state within parentheses) when first cited. If tests to rule out the presence of mycoplasmal contamination were not performed, this fact should be clearly stated. Other data relating to unique biological, biochemical, and/or immunological markers should also be included if available, with their source identified. Publication of results is based on the principle that results must be independently verifiable. Authors are expected to make unique reagents available to qualified investigators either directly or through a recognized distributor. See also Unique Materials and Data Banks and Ethical Policies and Procedures for other requirements.
